[US] Two thermodynamics books, each with a mass of 1 kg, are stacked one on top of another. Neglecting the presence of atmosphere, draw the free body diagram of the book at the bottom to determine the vertical force on its (a) top and (b) bottom faces in kN. SOLUTION (a) From the free body diagram of the book at the top, a vertical force balance produces: F  mg  kg m kN  kN 1 1000   s 2 N   F1  19.81  0.00981 kN 1000 (b) Using the free body diagram of the book at the bottom, F  F  mg kN 2 1 1000  F2  0.00981 19.81  0.01962 kN F mg 1 F1 F mg 2 0-1-1 [UA] Determine (a) the pressure felt on your palm to hold a textbook of mass 1 kg in equilibrium. Assume the distribution of pressure over the palm to be uniform and the area of contact to be 25 cm2 . (b) What-if Scenario: How would a change in atmospheric pressure affect your answer (0: No change; 1: increase; -1 decrease)?
