One kind of stress is called pressure. Pressure is calculated as force divided by area. Force is a push or a pull. It is measure
d in units such as pounds or newtons. Area is measured in units such as square inches or square meters. The equation for calculating pressure is p=f/a where P is pressure, F is force, and A is area. Use the equation to calculate the average pressure on the membrane below. Express your answer in units of pounds per square inch (psi).\ equation- f=60lb. a=24sq.in.
Pressure on the membrane will be 2.5 pounds per square.
Explanation:
As discussed in the question, pressure is calculated by dividing force by area. To calculate the pressure on the membrane :
P= F/A
P= 60/24
P= 2.5 pounds per square inch
However, the standard unit for calculating pressure is Newton per square meter but in the question, it is asked to give the answer in pounds per square inch.
