Question

We are not crushed under the weight of air, as the pressure inside our body is to the atmospheric pressure.

• A. greater
• B. lesser
• C. equal

Answer 1

The correct option is C equal

The atmosphere applies pressure on us. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure. Inside the body, the flowing blood and body fluids create a pressure which counters the effect of atmospheric pressure and cancel the effect. Thus, we are not crushed.
