The air pressure on our body is equal to........... pressure.(Atmospheric, Sea bottom, Space)

Answer»

The air PRESSURE on our body is equal to...14.7 lb/sq inch........ pressure.

It is an amazing matter that in spite of this pressure on US

Why we are not being crushed by air pressure?”

The reply is that there’s also pressure inside our body say blood pressure, ear fluid and another liquid component of our body exerting the same pressure.

THUS, a counterbalance always is there.

Body, pushing outward at the same pressure.

So the forces acting on our body is equalized and our body is in equilibrium.

This also helps explain why our ears pop when we are in elevating lift.

As we GO up the air pressure around is decreasing, but the air pressure inside the body is not decreasing as fast.

Similar is the CASE when you take off in Aeroplane when our ear popup.
