Your grip on a smooth plastic surface nearly parallel to the force vector you wish to apply is tiny, you cannot exert 1kN in this situation.
Comment on My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate.
FreeBeard@slrpnk.net 2 days agoThe pressure acts over the area of contact. For a perfect vacuum it would lead to ~1kN of force. This is the same order of magnitude our muscles produce. If you take into account that the vacuum results from cooling over such a small temperature interval the force can’t be too high.

1kN is equivalent to lifting 100kg… 220lb for our imperial friends… I don’t think I could put that much force on a plate and bowl I was trying not to break
