  • Force=140N
  • Area=0.1m^2


\\ \rm\longmapsto Pressure=(Force)/(Area)


\\ \rm\longmapsto Pressure=(140)/(0.1)


\\ \rm\longmapsto Pressure=1400Pa

Answer:

Pressure = 1400 pascals

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to measure pressure is Pressure equals force in pounds over the area in square inch. The written abbreviated formula is P= F/A. By looking at the formula one can see that top obtain the pressure on an object, one must divide the the force by the area of an object.

P = 140/0.1

P = 1400
