Question

A force of 68 N is applied to an area of 540 cm2. Calculate the pressure in N/m2. Give your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

`P=1259.26N/m^2`

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force
`F=68N`

Area
`A=540cm^2=0.054m^2`

Generally the equation for Pressure is mathematically given by

`P=(F)/(A)`

`P=(68)/(0.054)`

`P=1259.26N/m^2`
