Question

A book is sitting on a desk. The area of contact between the book and the desk is 0.06 m2 of the body's weight is 30 N what is the pressure the book exerts on the desk

Answer 1

Answer:

500N/m²

Explanation:

The Pressure can be calculated using the formula:

P = F/A

Where;

F = force (N)

A = Area (m²)

Based on the information provided in the question, F = 30N, A = 0.06m²

P = F/A

P = 30/0.06

P = 500N/m²
