<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Maximum force = 736 Newton
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>We are given the formula:</u>

<u>Rewriting this formula, we can have:</u>
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
<u>1- Maximum Pressure:</u>
We are already given that the maximum pressure the tile can sustain is
200 Newton/m²
<u>2- Area of the tile:</u>
The tile has a rectangular shape, therefore, the area is the product of its length and width
<u>This means that:</u>
Area of tile = 1.6 x 2.3 = 3.68 m²
<u>3- Maximum force:</u>
Maximum force = maximum pressure x area of tile
Maximum force = 200 x 3.68 = 736 Newton
Hope this helps :)
