Question

A force of 16n is distributed uniformly on the surface of a cube of edge 8 cm.Calculate the pressure on this surface

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 Pa

Explanation:

using the formula pressure = force/area, the area of the surface will be 8cm x 8cm = 64cm^2 (area of square, because it is a cube), and the force is 16N.

so the pressure will be = 16N/64cm^2 = 1/4 Pa (or or whatever unit you are using).

hope this helps!
