Question

A medic applies a force of 65 n to a 0.02 m2 area that is bleeding. what pressure did she apply? answer in units of pa

Answer 1

Pressure = (force) / (area)

Pressure = (65 N) / (0.02 m²)

Pressure = (65 / 0.02) (N / m²)

Pressure = 3,250 N/m²

Note:  1 N/m² is called 1 Pascal, so that medic is leaning into it with a pressure of

3,250 Pa
