Question

When hiking at altitude, the air pressure drops to 825,000Pa. Solve the force that site exerts against the side of a rectangular tent wall having dimensions of 2.00m long and 0.750m wife.

Answer 1

Answer:

The force is $1237500N$

Explanation:

We can apply the following expression

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

To find the area of rectangular tent wall:

$Area=length *width\\Area=2.00m*0.750m\\Area=1.5m^{2}$

Now to find the force:

$pressure=825,000pa$

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

$Force=pressure*Area\\Force=825000pa*1.5m^{2} \\Force=1237500N$
