Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, is a bacteria that is commonly found in the nose and on the skin of humans. While it is typical

ly not harmful to humans, it is sometimes able to enter the body through an injury or broken skin, and get into the bloodstream. When this happens, it can cause a serious infection called sepsis. Sepsis can cause an individual to go into shock and bodily organs to stop functioning. Symptoms of sepsis include inflammation, fever or hypothermia, increased heart rate, and rapid breathing.

What is the force exerted on an object if it experiences 1000 Pa of pressure over an area of 25 m2? NO UNIT, NO COMMA, AND NO DE
rodikova [14]

Answer:

F = 25000 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure exerted by the object, P = 1000 Pa

Area of cross section, A = 25 m²

We need to find the force exerted on an object. The pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\F=P\times A\\\\F=1000\ Pa\times 25\ m^2\\\\F=25000\ N

So, the force exerted on an object is 25000 N.
