Understanding Pressure
* Pressure (P): Force per unit area.
* Force (F): The amount of push or pull on an object (Newtons).
* Area (A): The surface area over which the force is applied (square meters).
Formula:
Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)
Calculations
1. Calculate the area of the board:
Area (A) = Length x Width = 4 meters x 6 meters = 24 square meters
2. Apply the pressure formula:
Pressure (P) = 35 Newtons / 24 square meters = 1.46 Pascals (approximately)
Answer: The hammer exerts approximately 1.46 Pascals of pressure on the board.
