Answer:

10.12square feet

Explanation:

Pressure exerted on the object is defined as the ratio of the force exerted on it to its unit area. Mathematically, Pressure = Force/Area

Given the force = 170kN

Pressure = 180KPa

Area = Force /Pressure

Area = 170kN/180KPa

Area = 0.94N/Pa

Note that 1Newton/Pascal = 10.764square feet

Therefore 0.94N/Pa = x

x = 0.94× 10.764

x = 10.12square feet

Therefore the area upon which this pressure is exerted is 10.12sqft.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

C. N/m (newtons/meter)

Explanation:

Since the equation for potential energy for a spring is PE = 1/2kx², after you know <em>k </em>and <em>x</em>, you will get an answer in Joules.

Please let me know if you want me to explain further!

Thanks!
