Answer:
12 N/cm²
Explanation:
Given :
- Force acting on the surface = 60 Newtons
- Area of the cross section or the surface area = 5 cm²
To find :
- Pressure exerted by the body
We know that:
Pressure = force/area
Substituting the values :
Pressure = 60N/5cm²
Pressure = 12 N/cm²
The pressure acting on the surface which has a force of 60 Newtons acting on it and whixh has a surface area of 5 cm² is equal tk 12 N/cm²
