The pressure exerted would be approximately 0.19 N/m² or 0.19 Pa.

Pressure is defined as the applied force per unit area. When a force is exerted on a surface, pressure is the amount of force that is distributed per unit area of that surface.

The formula to calculate pressure is:


\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{P=(F)/(A) } \end{gathered}$} }

Where:

  • P is the pressure
  • F is the force
  • A is the area

In this case:

  • P = ?
  • F = 9.3 N
  • A = 48.9 m²

Substituting the known values into the formula, we have:


\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{P=(9.3 \ N )/(48.9 \ m^2) } \end{gathered}$} }


\boxed{\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{P\approx0.19 \ (N)/(m^2) } \end{gathered}$} }}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{P\approx0.19 \ Pascal } \end{gathered}$} }}

The pressure exerted would be approximately 0.19 N/m² or 0.19 Pa.

SOLUTION:

The pressure
P can be calculated using the formula:


\qquad\qquad\dashrightarrow\rm{P=(F)/(A)}

where:


  • F is the force exerted.

  • A is the area over which the force is applied.

Substituting the given values, we get:


\qquad\quad\dashrightarrow\rm{P=\frac{9.3\text{ N}}{48.9\text{ m}^2}}

Simplifying this expression, we get:


\qquad\quad\dashrightarrow\boxed{\rm{\:\:P=0.190\text{ N/m}^2\:\:}}


\therefore The pressure exerted by 9.3 Newtons over a 48.9 m
^2 area is 0.190 N/m
\bold{^2}.
