The corresponding downward force on the top of a horizontal square is 375 lb.in

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. It is represented as

Pressure p = Force/Area

If the atmospheric pressure is 15 lb/in and area 5 inches on each side is

A = 5² = 25 in²

The force applied is

15 lb/in = F /25 in²

F = 375 lb.in

Hence, the corresponding downward force on the top of a horizontal square is 375 lb.in
