Hi Thanks for replying Then why a digital weighing scale doesn't pick that force. When we stand shouldn't it pick up 80kg + 10000kg ? Or is the scale being adjusted only to reflect body weight

Whats the significance of Atmospheric pressure being refereed as 100kPa ? Does that really mean 10000 kg/m2 acting upon us ? If we are measuring only collision force on the surface and not the weight of the entire column of air above us, then why figure 100kPa (100000 N force/m2) which is huge...
