What is force in newtons divided by the area?
Force divided by area is pressure. If the force is in newtons and the area is in metres squared, the pressure will be in pascals (Pa).
Is accalaration expressed in newtons foot pounds kilograms or meters per second squared?
Meters per second squared I think thank you
What is the maximum pressure a concrete block measuring 0.5m x 1m x 2m which has a weight of 26000 newtons can exert on the ground?
big pressure comes from smaller surface areas therefore we need to find a side of the block with the smallest surface area. if you do 1m x 2m, that equals 2m squared and that is a large surface area. if you do 2m x 0.5, that equals 1m squared and that is STILL not small enough. HOWEVER if you do 0.5 x 1, that equals 0.5m squared and that is perfectly small enough.since pressure=force divided by area, we have to do 26000 (which is the force) divided by 0.5m squared which becomes 52000. therefore the final answer is 52,000 pascals.
What are the units of the Coulomb constant k which appears in Coulomb's law?
newtons * meters squared / coulombs squared
What is pressure force?
Pressure is defined as the following Pressure = force / area. So what this means is pressure is how much force is exerted over a area of given size. For examle a concrete slab is on the floor this slab has a width of 2m and a length of 2 m its area is 2 x 2 which gives 2m Squared. Its force it exerts is 1000 newtons ok what the hell does this mean? if you place this in the formula you will get pressure = 1000/4 Pressure = 250 newtons per square metre. I hope this answers you question on what pressure is.
