Question

18) A small table weighting 40N stands on four legs, each having an area of 0.001m
The pressure of the table on the floor is​

Answer 1

Given:

A small table weighting 40N stands on four legs, each having an area of 0.001 m².

To find out:

Find the pressure of the table on the floor?

Formula used:

Pressure = Force/Area

Solution:

We have,

Force = 40 N

Area = 0.001 m²

★Now ,putting the values in the formula

Pressure = 40 N / 0.001 m²

➠ 40 × 1000 / 1

➠ 40000 N/m² or Pascal

Hence, the pressure of given table is 40000 Pascal.

Additional information:

• Pressure is the force acting perpendicularly on a unit area of the object.

• S.I unit of measuring pressure is Pascal ( pa )
