Answer:
the pressure exerted by the object is 392,000 N/m²
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the object, m = 8 kg
area of your finger, A = 2 cm² = 2.0 x 10⁻⁴ m²
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The pressure exerted by the object is calculated as;
[tex]Pressure = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{mg}{A} = \frac{8 \times 9.8}{2\times 10^{-4}} = 392,000 \ N/m^2[/tex]
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the object is 392,000 N/m²
