The ice on the hockey field has a weight of 900 kN. It exerts a pressure of 600 Pa on the ground.

The ice on the hockey field has a weight of 900 kN. It exerts a pressure of 600 Pa on the ground. Find the area of the hockey field.

The pressure of the ice mass on the ground can be calculated using the formula:

P = F / S, where P is the pressure exerted by ice on the ground (P = 600 Pa), F is the force of pressure of the ice mass on the ground (F = 900 kN = 900 * 10 ^ 3 N), S is the area of the hockey field (m2).

Let’s express and calculate the area of the hockey field:

S = F / P = 900 * 103/600 = 1500 m2.

Answer: The area of the hockey field is 1500 m2.
