Question

The air inside a balloon exerts a force of 1.5 N on an area of 0.5m2. What is the pressure inside the balloon

Answer 1

Given:

Force of 1.5N

Area of 0.5m2

Required:

Pressure

Solution:

The equation for pressure is P = F/A where P is the pressure, F is the force and A is the area.

P = F/A

P = (1.5N) / (0.5m2)

P = 3 N/m2 or 3 Pascal
