0.095m²

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Weight of truck = 18000N

Pressure = 190kPa or 190000Pa

Unknown:

Area of truck tires = ?

Solution:

Pressure is given as the force per unit area of a substance:

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

Since Area is the unknown, we make it the subject of the expression;

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

= $\frac{18000}{190000}$

= 0.095m²
