Question

Help asap 9) A poorly tied down blimp falls over in a field. If the blimp exerts a downward force of 4000 N over an area

of 250 m2, what pressure is put on the ground by the blimp?

Answer 1

`Pressure = 16\ pa`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Force = 4000N`

`Area = 250m^2`

Required

Determine the pressure

Pressure is calculated using:

`Pressure = (Force)/(Area)`

Substitute values for Force and Area

`Pressure = (4000N)/(250m^2)`

`Pressure = 16N/m^2`

Change units

`Pressure = 16\ pa`
