Answer:
Pressure, P = 7 Pa
Explanation:
Given that,
Force exerted on the surface, F = 42 N
Length, l = 3 m
Width, b = 2 m
We need to find the pressure exerted by this force. We know that, pressure is equal to force per unit area. So,
[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{l\times b}\\\\P=\dfrac{42}{3\times 2}\\\\P=7\ Pa[/tex]
So, the required pressure is equal to 7 Pa.
