Answer: 800m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure is defined as the amount of force acting on an area. Under the assumption that the force of 5/2 has the units of Newtons per meter squared, we get relate the pressure to the force using the following formula:


Pressure=Force/Area\\


Area=Force/Pressure


Area=2000N/(5/2*N/m^2)


Area=800m^2
