Since we have

[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{S}[/tex]

where P is the pression, F is the force and S is the surface, we can solve the formula for the force as follows

[tex]F=PS[/tex]

In order to have consistent units of measure, we convert

[tex]1\text{atm} = 101325\text{Pa}[/tex]

and we plug the values:

[tex]F=101325\cdot 0.0002=20.265[/tex]

The force exerted by the outside air is 2 * 10⁻⁴ N.

What is the relation between pressure and area?

Pressure = Force / area

Unit of force = Newton(N)

Unit of area = m²

Unit of pressure = atm(N / m²)

Given pressure of the outside air = 1 atm

Given area of the eardrum = 2 * 10⁻⁴ m²

Force = Pressure * area

Force = (1) * (2 * 10⁻⁴) N

Force = 2 * 10⁻⁴ N.

Hence, the force exerted by the outside air is 2 * 10⁻⁴ N.
