Try this simple experiment at home, if you can.
If you do the experiment according the instructions, i.e. if you kick the ruler very fast, it will break in two pieces. This is because air pressure above the newspaper prevents it to raise up immediately. As a result, the newspaper will block the part of the ruler under it. But if you kick the ruler slowly, you will give time to the air to enter under the newspaper and as a result, the air pressure is balanced in both sides of the newspaper. The ruler eventually will not break but it simply falls on the ground.
This experiment is an evidence of the air pressure strength, which people often underestimate. However, air pressure is an important part of our life. Therefore, in this tutorial we will discuss extensively about the pressure of air and other gases as well.
