Question

1. What is the weight of an object that has a base of 3 square meters and has a pressure of 21 newtons per square meters?

Answer 1

63N

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the weight (force) that an object exerts, the formula is used:

Pressure = Force / Area

Where; P = pressure

F = applied force

A = the surface area the

force is applied to

According to the question; P= 21N/m^2,

F= ?, a = 3m^2

Force = pressure × area

Force = 21 × 3

Force = 63N

Hence, the weight of the object is 63N
