help asap 9) A poorly tied down blimp falls over in a field. If the blimp exerts a downward force of 4000 N over an area
of 250 m2, what pressure is put on the ground by the blimp?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Pressure = 16\ pa[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Force = 4000N[/tex]

[tex]Area = 250m^2[/tex]

Required

Determine the pressure

Pressure is calculated using:

[tex]Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}[/tex]

Substitute values for Force and Area

[tex]Pressure = \frac{4000N}{250m^2}[/tex]

[tex]Pressure = 16N/m^2[/tex]

Change units

[tex]Pressure = 16\ pa[/tex]
