Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by the two straps of a handbag that has a force of 15N, and covers an area of 0.5cm2 (each)

Answer 1

Pressure = 3000N/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 15N

Area = 0.5cm² to meters = 0.5/100 = 0.005m²

To find the pressure;

Pressure = Force/area

Substituting into the equation, we have:

Pressure = 15/0.005

Pressure = 3000N/m²
