Question

Forgot about my homework and would be grateful if someone could tell me the answer to this

Answer 1

0.7 m

Explanation:

pressure = 75

force = 73.5

`pressure = (force)/(area)\\\\\implies area = (force)/(pressure)\\\\= (73.5)/(73)\\\\= 0.98`

area = 0.98 m²

length = 1.4

width = x

area = lw

⇒ lw = 0.98

⇒ 1.4x = 0.98

`\implies x = (0.98)/(1.4)`

x = 0.7 m
