Question

A square mat of side 1.2 m floats on the sea. The atmospheric pressure is 105 Pa. What is the total force acting on the mat by the atmosphere?
please answer fast with explanation

Answer 1

Force = Pressure × Area
= 10⁵ Pa × (1.2 m × 1.2 m)
= 144 × 10³ N
= 144 kN

Force acting on the mat by atmosphere is 144 kN
