7: A pressure of 1000 Pa is pressing against a surface with area \( 1.5 \mathrm{~m}^{2} \). What is the force that results from this pressure?

To find the resulting force from the pressure, you can use the formula: \[ \text{Force} = \text{Pressure} \times \text{Area} \] In this case, \( \text{Pressure} = 1000 \, \text{Pa} \) and \( \text{Area} = 1.5 \, \text{m}^{2} \). Thus, the force would be: \[ \text{Force} = 1000 \, \text{Pa} \times 1.5 \, \text{m}^{2} = 1500 \, \text{N} \] So, the resulting force is 1500 Newtons! Have you ever been squished between two pillows? Picture that! The pressure from those soft pillows creates a pushing force. While you won't feel 1500 N between two pillows (that's a lot of squish!), surface pressures are essential in multiple scenarios, from engineering design to everyday items like car tires. Each design takes these principles into account to ensure safety and functionality.
