Today’s topic is: How to lift 10,000 KG without any hardship.
Introduction
The title looks quite clickbaity but it is worth it.
You must be wondering how to lift 10000 kilos without any difficulty, we all do it from birth or it happens unknowingly.
Atmospheric pressure
This plays a major role with gravity to keep us on the ground. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure within the atmosphere of the earth. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the gravitational attraction of the planet on the atmospheric gases above the surface and is a function of the mass of the planet, the radius of the surface, and the amount and composition of the gases and their vertical distribution in the atmosphere. It is modified by the planetary rotation and local effects such as wind velocity, density variations due to temperature and variations in composition.
It’s unit
The unit of pressure is Pascal(p) and atmospheric pressure is abbreviated as ‘atm‘. We experience 1 atm at sea level. The pressure decreases as the altitude is gained.
Fun fact: Boiling of water varies according to the pressure( lower pressure, lower boiling temperature and same with high pressure) so if you want to cook rice at Himalaya then you would face difficulty with normal heat, therefore you will need a pressure cooker to cook food at higher or lower pressure.
We experience about 10332.27 kg/m^2 at 1atm. So we indirectly have a weight more than that of two Asian Elephants on our body.
Why don’t we crush under this weight?
The weight is enormous but a force from our body nullifies it. The force is blood pressure. The pressure acting upon the body( atmospheric pressure) and the pressure within the body (blood pressure) cancel each other out and we remain intact.
Do you know? In space, there is no atmospheric pressure therefore all the blood pressure acts upon the body and it burst like a tomato. ( but we can still live 40 sec without a spacesuit)
So don’t take too much pressure of work and home cause there are already much pressure upon you!
Bye! Have a great time.
