Answer to Question #150687 in General Chemistry for Robbin

Question

If the point of the nail can be approximated as a circle with radius 2.00 x 10–3m, what is the pressure in magapascals extorted on the wall of a hammer strikes the the nail with a force of 104 N? Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

Pressure ,$P= F/A$

$A= πr²$

A = 3.14 ×(2×10^-3m)= 0.00628m²

P=( 104/0.00628)=16560.5pa

P= 0.0165605Mpa
