A trilobite fossil weighing 0.059 N has an area of 0.0007 m2 that is in contact with a table. How much pressure does it exert on the table?

a)2.89 x 10-8 Pa
b)4.13 x 10-5 Pa
c)1.19 x 10-2 Pa
d)84.3 Pa

Respuesta :

Pressure [Pa] = Force [N] / Area [m2].

So in your case Pressure = 0.059 / 0.0007 = 84.2857 Pa.

Correct answer d) 84.3 Pa
