Question

How much pressure does an object have that exerts 11 newton force in an area of 7 square centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

15714.2857 Pascal

Explanation:

Formula for Pressure =  $\frac{Force Applied}{Area}$

Note: All units must be the SI units for the formula to work. Unit for force is Newtons (N) , while unit for area is square meters ($m^{2}$).

7 square centimeters= 7 cm × 1 cm = 0.07m × 0.01m = 0.0007 $m^{2}$

Plug in the numbers into the formula, pressure will be 11N ÷ 0.0007 $m^{2}$ which is equal to 15714.2857 Pascal. (You can round the number to 15714.3 or 15714.29)
