There is a empty sack on the floor which area of density is s(the sack's) and air can't go through it's surface.
Sack's circumference is L and length l(so when it's filled with air it's like a sausage, also l>L)
Inside the sack is overpressure( p. Air density is meager and free-fall acceleration is g.
Define the length of contact(c) between sack and the floor.
Answer is:
The pressure at the floor P = p + sg, hence sLg=(p+sg)c and on and on(I can handle the rest)
But I don't understand the meaning of the P = p + sg. I thought it like how does the overpressure inside "the box" affect to the floor. And then there is that devil sg.
Could somebody explain that P part, please?
