Because that air pressure is the same on all sides and inside objects. If you were to seal a container at the top of Mt. Everest, Then took it down to Sea Level, It might crush (depending on the strength of the container) because the air pressure inside would be much less (the same as at the Peak where you sealed it) then it is at sea level.

Why does in air pressure crush objects such as your desk?

Air pressure can crush objects like a desk because the weight of the air above the object creates a force pushing down on it. As the air pressure increases, this force becomes stronger, causing the object to collapse under the weight.


Is a desk stapler measured in grams or kilograms?

A desk stapler is typically measured in grams, as it is a relatively lightweight object. Kilograms are usually used to measure heavier objects.


What are 3 action and reaction force pairs involving homework?

The force of your pencil or pen against the desk that your paper is on if you're writing something down. The force of your paper against the desk. The force of your book against the desk. In each case, the desk exerts the identical but opposite force against the object lying on it. If that were not true, the objects would deform the desk, or the desk would form a bump where the objects are lying on it.


The atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 1 105 Pa What is the force at sea level that air exerts on the top of a typical office desk 154 cm long and 78 cm wide?

A simple formula would do to get the force on the desk. Force = pressure x area. Pressure = 1 x 105 pascal. Area = length x breadth = 1.54 x 0.78 = 1.2012 m2. Hence the force = 1.2012 x 105 newton.


Does moving a ruler across your desk affect its shape?

No, simply moving a ruler across a desk should not affect its shape. However, if the ruler is subject to excessive force or pressure during the movement, it may bend or deform.

Answerthe reason is that the molecules in air push in all directions down,up, and sideways. The air pushing down on top of your desk is balanced by the air pushing up on the bottom of your desk.
