Question

Earth's atmosphere exerts a force of 124,500 N on a kitchen table with an area of 1.5 m squared. What is the pressure in pascals?

Answer 1

Pressure = 83,000 Pascals

Step-by-step explanation:

Force exerted by Earth's atmosphere = 124,500 N

Area of kitchen table on which force is exerted = 1.5 m²

Formula:

`\boxed{ \rm Pressure= (Force)/(Are)}`

By substituting values in the formula we get:

`\rm \implies Pressure= (124500)/(1.5) \\ \\ \rm \implies Pressure=83000 \: Pa`
