Answer:
pressure = Force/ area
given:-
Force = 60N
Area of cross section = 5cm sq = 5 × 10^-4 m sq.
Pressure = 60N/ 5×10-4 m sq
= 12 × 10^4 N/m sq
F = 60N.
A = 5cm².
The pressure exerted by the body.
As we know that, the formula of pressure is,
P = F / A.
[Putting values ]
P = 60N / 5cm²
P = 12N/cm².
The pressure exerted by the body is 12N/cm².
