a)
• P = F/A
P = pressure = 630 N/m^2
F = force
A = area
F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N
m= mass
g= gravity
P = F/A
A = F/P
A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2
b)
• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2
7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2
√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius
radius = 0.04976 m
Answers:
a ) 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2
b) 0.04976 m
