Question

. A person lying on a floor exerts a force of 750 N over a floor of 1.5 m2. Find the pressure

exerted by the person on the floor.​

Answer 1

As we know

Pressure is force per unit area.

i.e; P=F/A

In your case:

F= 750N

A= 1.5mtr sq.

Therefore putting these values in the equation we get

P= 750N/ 1.5mtr. sq.

=500 N/mtr. sq. (Answer)

Answer 2

Answer:

500 Pa

Explanation:

Thrust , F = 750 N

Area of contact , A = 1.5 m^2

Pressure = P (say)

Now , Pressure = Thrust / Area

P= F/A

P= 750/1.5

P= 750*10/15

P=500

Therefore , Pressure is 500 Pa
