Question 602176
The pressure p exerted on a surface is the ratio of the force F on the surface to its Area A. find the pressure on a square patch (the length of each side of the square is 2.25in) on a tank if the force on the patch is 37.4 pounds.
------------
p = f/A
p = 37.4/2.25^2
p =~ 7.39 lb/sq in
