Question

The archer uses a force of 120 N. The force acts on an area of 0.5 cm^2 on the archer's fingers. Calculate the pressure on the archer's fingers.​

Answer 1

The pressure on the archer's fingers is calculated by dividing the force of 120 N by the area of 0.5 cm^2.

To convert the area to the SI unit (m^2), we multiply 0.5 cm^2 by (0.01 m)^2, which gives us 0.005 m^2.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have: Pressure = 120 N / 0.005 m^2.

Simplifying the division, the pressure on the archer's fingers is 24,000 Pa.

Answer 2

240 N/cm², or 2.4 MPa

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

P = 120 N / 0.5 cm²

P = 240 N/cm²

If desired, convert to N/m² or Pa.

P = 240 N/cm² × (100 cm/m)²

P = 2,400,000 Pa

P = 2.4 MPa
