Question

A force of 76 N is applied to an area of 490 cm2. Calculate the pressure in N/m2. Give your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

Given

Hope it helps

Explanation:

Pressure is the force per unit perpendicular area over which the force is applied

p=F/A

Where f is force and a is area

So P

= F/A

= 76N / 0.049m2

= (76/0.049) Nm2

= 76000/49

= 1551.02

Or 1551 N/m2
