Question

The bottom of a container has an area of 25 cm2. If 6.5 newtons of water are poured into the container, what is the pressure exerted on the bottom? 0.26 N/cm2 3.8 N/cm2 2.6 N/cm2 162.5 N/cm2

Answer 1

0.26 N WELCOME
its too short so i got to write more ok bye

Answer 2

Answer: 0.26 N/cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure exerted on the bottom of the container is given by the ratio between the force exerted (the weight of the water) and the area of the container:

`p=(F)/(A)`

In this case:

F=6.5 N is the weight of the water

`A=25 cm^2` is the area of the bottom of the container

Substituting, we find

`p=(6.5 N)/(25 cm^2)=0.26 N/cm^2`
