If the atmospheric pressure is 15 lb/in², what is the corresponding downward force on the top of a horizontal square area 5 inches on each side? A) zero. B) 15 lbs. C) 75 lbs. D) 375 lbs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The downward force can be calculated by multiplying the pressure by the area. The area of the square is 5 inches * 5 inches = 25 square inches. The pressure is 15 lb/in^2, so the total force is 15 lb/in^2 * 25 in^2 = 375 lbs.

If the Atmospheric Pressure Is 15 Lb/in2, What Is the Corresponding
