Question

A woman is applying 300 Pa of pressure onto a door with her hand. The area of her palm is 200cm2. Calculate the force being applied.

Answer 1

Answer: 60000 Newton

Explanation:   the pressure being applied by  the woman is 300 Pa

the area of her hand is 200 cm²  

Force =  Pressure ×   Area

=    300 Pa ×  200 cm²

=    60000 N           [   Pa × cm² =  N ]

This means that the force applied by the woman on the door is 60000 N.
