Question

A 1.5 m wide by 2.5 m long water bed weighs
1025 N. Find the pressure that the water bed exerts
on the floor. Assume that the entire lower surface
of the bed makes contact with the floor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure exerted by water bed will be force applied per unit area.

P=

A

F

=

1.5×2.5

1025

=

3.75

1025

=273.3Pa

Answer 2

$\sf P = \dfrac{F}{A}$

$\sf\implies\dfrac{1025}{1.5×2.5}$

$\sf\implies\dfrac{1025}{3.75}$

$\sf\implies 273.3Pa$
