Answer:
The pressure is [tex]P = 583333 \ N/m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The area of the edge is [tex]A = 0.72 cm^2 = 0.72 *10^{-4}\ m[/tex]
The force is [tex]F = 42 \ N[/tex]
The pressure is mathematically represented as
[tex]P = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P = \frac{42}{0.72*10^{-4}}[/tex]
[tex]P = 583333 \ N/m^2[/tex]
