Determine the pressure exerted by the tip of the wasp sting if it plunges the sting with a force of 100N

Determine the pressure exerted by the tip of the wasp sting if it plunges the sting with a force of 100N, and the area of the tip is 0.000003m2

These tasks: F (the force with which the wasp should drive the sting) = 100 N; S (tip area) = 0.000003 m2 (3 * 10 ^ -6 m2).

The pressure that the wasp sting should exert is determined by the formula: P = F / S.

Calculation: P = 100 / (3 * 10 ^ -6) = 33.3 * 10 ^ 6 Pa (33.3 MPa).

Answer: The sting of a wasp should create a pressure of 33.3 MPa.
