Abook with a weight of 12 n rests on its back cover. if the back cover measures 0.21 m by 0.28 m, how much pressure does the book exert?

a. 42 pa

b. 57 pa

c. 12.46 pa

d. 204 pa

option D = 204 Pa

Explanation:

Given data:

Weight of book = 12 N

Area of book =  0.21 m × 0.28 m = 0.0058 m²

Pressure of book = ?

Solution:

formula

pressure = force / area

P = f/ A

now we will put the values in formula,

P = 12 N/ 0.0058  m²

P= 204 Nm⁻²      ( Nm⁻²= Pa)

P = 204 Pa
