Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

Answer explanation

What would the pressure be when a 2250 N force is exerted on an area of 2.5 m²?

Answer explanation

What would the pressure be when a 5000 N force is exerted on an area of 33.33 m²?

Answer explanation

What would the pressure be when a 85 kg man stands on the ground and the surface area of each shoe is 0.325 m²?

Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Answer explanation

Find the area by doubling 0.325 to 0.65 as the man wears two shoes.

The question gives us his mass as 85 kg, but mass is a scalar quantity, not a force. Convert to a force using W = m x g to get his weight as 850 N.

p = F/A

p = 850 N / 0.65 m²

p = 1307.7 Pa (to 1dp)

What would the pressure be when a 4000 N force is exerted on an area of 0.02 m²?
