A human exerts a force of 1.5 N on each of the two nails A and B the area of cross secton of tip of nail A in `2 "mm"^2` while that of B in `6 "mm"^2` Calculate the pressure on each nail in pascal.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the pressure exerted on each nail using the formula for pressure: **Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)** ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Force exerted on each nail, F = 1.5 N - Area of cross-section of nail A, A_A = 2 mm² - Area of cross-section of nail B, A_B = 6 mm² ...
