Question

When hiking at altitude, the air pressure drops to 825,000Pa. Solve the force that site exerts against the side of a rectangular tent wall having dimensions of 2.00m long and 0.750m wife.

Answer 1

The force is
`1237500N`

Step-by-step explanation:

We can apply the following expression

`pressure=(Force)/(Area)`

To find the area of rectangular tent wall:

`Area=length *width\\Area=2.00m*0.750m\\Area=1.5m^(2)`

Now to find the force:

`pressure=825,000pa`

`pressure=(Force)/(Area)`

`Force=pressure*Area\\Force=825000pa*1.5m^(2) \\Force=1237500N`
