question: Please help!!!
If a bottle is being squeezed with a force of 10 Newtons and the area of the bottle is 15
squared inches. What is the pressure??
Answer:
1025.64 N/m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Pressure: This can be defined as the ratio of force to area. The si unit of pressure is N/m².
From the question,
P = F/A........................ Equation 1
Where F = Force, A = Area.
Given: F = 10 Newtons, A = 15 Squared Inches = (15×0.00065) = 0.00975 m²
Substitute these values into equation 1
P = 10/0.00975
P = 1025.64 N/m²
Hence the pressure of the bottle is 1025.64 N/m²
