Question

1. A person weighing 1200 N is supported on an inflated air pillow. The total area of the soles of his shoes is 0.1 m². Calculate the minimum pressure of the air inside the pillow. ​

Answer 1

P=3750

Step-by-step explanation:

P=F/A

P=1200N/0.1m²

Find the square root of 0.1

square root of 0.1=0.316622776601

Approximate it =0.32

P=1200N/0.32M

Cross multiple=1200N=P0.32M

divide both side by

3750=P, P=3750

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf P = 12,000 \ Pa}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Force = F = 1200 N

Area = A = 0.1 m²

Required:

Pressure = P = ?

Formula:

`\displaystyle P = (F)/(A)`

Solution:

`\displaystyle P = (1200 \ N)/(0.1 \ m^2) \\\\P = 12,000 \ Pa\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`
