Answer:

P = 86956.52 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

  • F = 800 N
  • A = 0.0092 m²
  • P = ?

Use the formula:


  • \boxed{\bold{P=(F)/(A)}}

Replace and solve:


  • \boxed{\bold{P=(800\ N)/(0.0092\ m^(2))}}

  • \boxed{\bold{P=86956.52\ Pa}}}

The pressure it exerts on the ground is 86956.52 Pascal.
