Force is measured in newtons (N). A force of 198.5 N is applied to a rectangular surface of length 4.9 cm and width 4.1 cm. Work out an estimate of the pressure, in N/cm^2 , applied to this rectangular surface. [The formula for pressure is: Pressure=(Force)/(Area)] (4 marks)

Question

Force is measured in newtons (N). A force of 198.5 N is applied to a rectangular surface of length 4.9 cm and width 4.1 cm. Work out an estimate of the pressure, in N/cm^2 , applied to this rectangular surface. [The formula for pressure is: Pressure=(Force)/(Area)] (4 marks)

Answer 1

The estimate of the pressure applied to the rectangle surface is the resulted value calculated above.

Answer 2

The problem can be solved using the formula for pressure, which is given in the question as: "Pressure = Force/Area". In this case, the force is given to be 198.5 Newtons and the area can be calculated as the product of the length and the width of the rectangular surface, which are 4.9 cm and 4.1 cm respectively. This means the calculation that will give us the answer is 198.5 N divided by the product of 4.9 cm and 4.1 cm.
