I think you asserted one time or the other you had technical
training. Why then in terms of static fluid pressure would one specify a direction? On May 22, 9:06 pm, Le Chaud Lapin wrote: On May 22, 5:25 pm, Tina wrote: Interesting phrase, "pushes down". Why would you think atmospheric pressure pushes down? At sea level the atmosphere pushes down with about 14.7 pounds of force for every square inch of exposed surface. On the average man, this works out to about 43,000 pounds, all the time. Why aren't your crushed by this? Mike Ash He probably picked down since down is as good a direction as any, unless, of course, he was thinking of someone with a big head whose top surface area measures 4.5 feet x 4.5 feet. -Le Chaud Lapin- |

I was merely pointing out the fact that, if he, or the source of the "43,000" in his post, actually thought that the fluid only presses downward, then "43,000" would have been a much smaller value. -Le Chaud Lapin- |
