a box of chocolate bars weighs 180N. Its base has an area of 0.09m2. what pressure does it exert on the ground |
|
Answer» tion:PRESSURE = normal force (or WEIGHT in newtons, N) / areaP = 180N/0.09m^2= 2000 N/m^2 or 2000 Pa (PASCAL units)second answerP = F/Awhere P is pressure, F is force and A is the area up which you are exerting this force.1 N = 1 Kg*m/s^2Therefore:P = 180m/0.09m^2*s^2P = 2000 Pascalswhere 1 Pascal equals 1 NEWTON per square meter |
