N/m2. answer to 2 decimal places.
3. Calculate the pressure of a shoe with an area of 0.04m2 and a force of 1423N.
4. Calculate the area of a car tire that exerts a pressure of 29000 N/m2 and a
force of 14500N.
5. Calculate the pressure if a car crashes into a wall with 25000N and with a
front area of 199cm2.
6. A woman standing in a pair of shoes has a weight of 475 N with an area of
