An Experiment Materials: Newspaper, "ACE" hardware ruler (1/8" thick), a flat table. Purposes: We'll show that there is air pressure pushing on us, from every direction while we're on this Earth. Procedure:
the edge of the table. If you strike it quick enough, the ruler will break near the table edge. What's going on? The Earth is covered in a layer of air that is nearly 80 miles thick and at sea level (the bottom) exerts or "pushes" hard almost 15 pounds of pressure per square inch. That means that a full sheet of newspaper laid out flat has nearly 9,300 pounds of air above it. When you break the ruler above, you are able to break it because of the "heavy" air pushing down on the paper while you quickly strike the ruler. At first, the table is pushing back on the paper, and if you move the ruler quick enough, other air around the edges of the paper can't get under the paper fast enough, so you are trying to lift that 9,300 pounds with the ruler! Some air gets under the paper, but not enough, so the ruler breaks. | ||
