The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector

. From the figure we know that:

From geometry, we know that:

Then using
vector decomposition into components:

Therefore:

So if you want to find out <span>
how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector

, that is:
</span>

Finally, let's find the <span>
compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:
</span>
Answer:
Multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.
Explanation:
The relationship between pressure, force and area is given by:

where in this case, p is the air pressure, F is the force exerted and A the area of the tabletop. By re-arranging the equation, we can solve for F, the force exerted:

So, the correct answer is:
The force exerted on the tabletop can be found by multiplying the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.
