Question

Calculate the pressure exerted on an elevator floor which has an area of 6
m2, if 8.0 people with average weight 570 N each are standing on it.

Answer 1

Answer:

760 N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure = Force/Area

Total weight : 570 × 8

= 4,560 N

Pressure exerted on elevator : P = F/A

> P = 4560/6

> P = 760 N/m²
