A force of 185.6 in Newton is applied to a square of side length 3 m work out the pressure on the square

Sagot :

Answer:

20.62 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

  • Force applied = 185.6 N
  • Length of the square = 3m

Formula:

[tex]P=\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

P = pressure

F = force

A = area

We need to calculate the area first, so...

  • [tex]Area^{2} = (3m)^{2}[/tex]
  • [tex]Area^{2} = 9m^{2}[/tex]

Apply the formula, so...

  • [tex]P = \frac{185.6}{9} Pa[/tex]
  • [tex]P = 20.62 Pa[/tex]

So, the pressure on the square is 20.62 Pa
