Answer:

5000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Area of the book cover  = 0.05m²

Atmospheric pressure  = 100kPa  = 100 x 10³Pa

Unknown:

Downward force of the atmosphere on the book  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area on a body.

 So;

 Downward force  = Atmospheric pressure x Area

  Downward force  = 100 x 10³ x 0.05  = 5000N
