Understanding the Concepts
* Pressure: Pressure is the force exerted per unit area. It's measured in Pascals (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m².
* Weight: Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
* Area: The area is the surface over which the force is distributed.
Calculation
1. Identify the given values:
* Weight (force) = 2.4 N
* Area = 0.012 m²
2. Use the formula for pressure:
Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)
3. Plug in the values:
P = 2.4 N / 0.012 m²
4. Calculate the pressure:
P = 200 Pa
Answer: The pressure exerted by the water on the glass is 200 Pa.
