On a support of what area is it necessary to put a load of 10 kg in order to produce a pressure of 100,000 Pa?

To find out the required area of the specified support, we apply the formula: S = F / P = mg * g / P.

Const: q – acceleration due to gravity (approx. Q ≈ 10 m / s2).

Data: mg – weight of the delivered cargo (mg = 10 kg); P is the required pressure (P = 100,000 Pa).

Let’s make a calculation: S = mg * g / P = 10 * 10/100000 = 10-3 m2 = 10 cm2.

Answer: The area of the specified support should be 10 cm2.
