If you take a piece of wood or a footrule, and place it on the edge of the table, so that about three inches of it overlap, and then place a sheet of paper over the part on the table, and press down sharply on the ruler you find that the paper does not give way. The reason for this is every simple, because the pressure of air down on the paper is greater than the pressure of air under the paper.
