Question

You place an 8 kg ball on the top of your 2 cm^2 finger tip. Calculate the

PRESSURE. Show MATH, answer and unit.

Answer 1

the pressure exerted by the object is 392,000 N/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 8 kg

area of your finger, A = 2 cm² = 2.0 x 10⁻⁴ m²

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The pressure exerted by the object is calculated as;

`Pressure = (F)/(A) = (mg)/(A) = (8 * 9.8)/(2* 10^(-4)) = 392,000 \ N/m^2`

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the object is 392,000 N/m²
