Question

The surface area of a postage

stamp is 0.00600 m^2, and the air

exerts 1.00 atm of pressure on it.

How much force does it exert on

the stamp?

(Hint: The standard unit for

pressure is Pa.)

(Unit = N)

Answer 1

Force = 607.95 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Area = 0.00600 m^2

Pressure = 1 atm to Pascal = 101325 Pa

To find the force;

Pressure = Force/area

Force = pressure * area

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 101325 * 0.00600

Force = 607.95 Newton.

Therefore, the amount of force exerted by the air on the stamp is 607.95 Newton.
