What pressure does a carpet weighing 200N and an area of 4m2 exert on the floor?

Initial data: P (carpet weight) = Fт (gravity acting on the carpet) = 200 N; S (carpet area) = 4 m2.

The pressure that the carpet will exert on the floor is determined by the formula: P = Fт / S.

Let’s make a calculation: P = 200/4 = 50 Pa.

Answer: The carpet exerts a pressure of 50 Pa on the floor.
