Question

What is the force applied to a bone with a cross-sectional area of 0.0004 m2 if it is being stressed with 5,000 Pa?

Answer 1

`2\ \text{N}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`A` = Cross sectional area of bone =
`0.0004\ \text{m}^2`

`P` = Pressure =
`5000\ \text{Pa}`

`F` = Force applied to the bone

Force is given by

`F=PA`

`\Rightarrow F=5000* 0.0004`

`\Rightarrow F=2\ \text{N}`

The force applied to the bone is
`2\ \text{N}`.
