A floor mat weighing 220 N is 4 m long, 3 m wide, and 0.04 m thick. How much pressure is exerted by the mat against the floor, in Pascals to two decimal places?

Answer 1

Recall that Pressure is just Force over a unit Area, or
P = F/A
We are given the force (which is 220 N), therefore, we only need to find area.
A = L*W
A = 4*3 = 12 m
Therefore,
P = 220 / 12
P = 18.33 N/m^2
P = 18.33 Pa

Hope this helps :3
