The 16.2cm by 22.9cm paper has an area = 370.98 square cm = 0.037098 square meters. And the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101,325 Newtons per square meter. So if multiply the quantities: 101,325 N/m^2 and 0.037098 m^2 we get an answer of 3758.95 N. * If we respect the fact that 22.9cm and 16.2 cm only have three significant digits then our answer would be 3760N.
