Understanding Pressure

Pressure is defined as force distributed over an area. The formula is:

* Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)

Calculations

1. Calculate the Area:

* Area = length x width

* Area = 1 m x 2.5 m = 2.5 m²

2. Calculate the Pressure:

* Pressure = Force / Area

* Pressure = 350 N / 2.5 m²

* Pressure = 140 N/m²

Answer: The pressure exerted is 140 N/m², which is also known as 140 Pascals (Pa).
