Question

If the weight of a body is 600N and its base area is 2 meters^2, calculate the pressure exerted.

a) 300 Pa
b) 150 Pa
c) 600 Pa
d) 1200 Pa

Answer 1

The pressure exerted by the body is 300 Pa.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the pressure exerted by a body, we use the formula: Pressure = Force/Area. In this case, the weight of the body is 600N and its base area is 2m^2. So, the pressure exerted is 600N/2m^2 = 300 Pa.
