68. During forced exhalation, such as when blowing up a balloon, the diaphragm and chest muscles create a pressure of 60.0 mm Hg between the lungs and chest wall. What force in newtons does this pressure create on the 600 cm^2 surface area of the diaphragm? (answer in N)

    F = 4798 N

    Explanation:

    The definition of pressure is the relationship between the force and the area over which it is applied.

    P = F / A

    Where P is the pressure, F the force and A area

    The force is expressed in many common units between this mmhg, let's put this under pressure

    P = ρ g h

    P = 1.36 10⁴ 9.8 60 10³

    P = 7996.8 Pa

    Let's reduce the area to SI units

    A = 600 cm² (1m / 100 cm) ² = 0.6 m²

    We clear the initial equation

    F = P A

    F = 7996.8 0.600

    F = 4798 N
