```

Force = Pressure * Area

```

Where:

- Pressure is the force per unit area, measured in pascals (Pa).

- Area is the surface area over which the pressure is applied, measured in square meters (m²).

- Force is the total force exerted on the object, measured in newtons (N).

In this case, the given values are:

- Pressure = 99500 Pa

- Area = 2.5 m²

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

```

Force = 99500 Pa * 2.5 m² = 248750 N

```

Therefore, the force exerted on the object is 248750 N.
