Question

Please can someone help? Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum force = 736 Newton

Explanation:

We are given the formula:

$Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

Rewriting this formula, we can have:

Force = Pressure x Area

The maximum force that can be applied to the tile will be the product of the maximum pressure that the tile can sustain and the area of the tile

1- Maximum Pressure:

We are already given that the maximum pressure the tile can sustain is

200 Newton/m²

2- Area of the tile:

The tile has a rectangular shape, therefore, the area is the product of its length and width

This means that:

Area of tile = 1.6 x 2.3 = 3.68 m²

3- Maximum force:

Maximum force = maximum pressure x area of tile

Maximum force = 200 x 3.68 = 736 Newton

Hope this helps :)
