A book is sitting on a desk. If the surface area of the book's cover is 0.05 m², and atmospheric pressure is 100.0 kPa, what is the downward force of the atmosphere on the book

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a fixed sphere of radius r. if the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere? [hint: use conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a func e conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a function of its height at what value of this normal force does the puck leave the sphere? ] here on the puck.
