Question

what will be the resultant pressure exerted by a table of weight 144 N standing on its four legs each having an area of 12cm2

Answer 1

Hi..

Given -

Force = 144 N

Area = 12 cm^2 = 12 × 10 ^ -4m^2

We know Pressure(p)=Force (F)/ Area(A).

Thus p = 144 / 12 * 10 ^4

Thus ; p = 120000 pascals..

Hope this helps u!!
