A water balloon weighing 4.5 N rests on a table. The balloon has an area of 2.6 x 10-3
m² in contact with the table. What pressure does the balloon exert on the table?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the pressure the balloon exerts on the table is 1,730.77 N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the water balloon, F = 4.5 N

area of the balloon, A = 2.6 x 10⁻³ m²

The pressure the balloon exerts on the table is calculated as follows;

[tex]P = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]

substitute the given values and solve for pressure, P;

[tex]P = \frac{4.5}{2.6 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\P = 1,730.77 \ N/m^2[/tex]

Therefore, the pressure the balloon exerts on the table is 1,730.77 N/m²
