If the point of the nail can be approximated as a circle with a radius 2.00×10^-3m What is the pressure in MPa exerted on the wall if a hammer strikes the nail with a force of 104 N

8.28 MPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the area of the nail (i.e circle). This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Area (A) of circle =?

Pi (π) = 3.14

A = πr²

A = 3.14 × (2×10¯³)²

A = 3.14 × 4×10¯⁶

A = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Next, we shall determine the pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Area (A) = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F / A

P = 104 / 1.256×10¯⁵

P = 8280254.78 Nm¯²

Finally, we shall convert 8280254.78 Nm¯² to MPa. This can be obtained as follow:

1 Nm¯² = 1×10¯⁶ MPa

Therefore,

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8280254.78 Nm¯² × 1×10¯⁶ MPa / 1 Nm¯²

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8.28 MPa

Thus, the pressure exerted on the wall is 8.28 MPa

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
