Given:

Force = 35000 N

Length of rectangle = 5 m

breadth of rectangle = 2.8 m

FInD:

calculating area of of rectangle .

Area of Rectangle = L × b

Area of Rectangle = 5 × 2.8

Area of Rectangle = 14m²

__________________________________

Calculating Pressure .

$Presssure \:=\:\frac{force}{Area}$

$Presssure \:=\:\frac{35000}{14}$

$Presssure \:=\:{\cancel\frac{35000}{14}}$

$Presssure \:=\: 2500\:Pascal$
