Answer:
4.99 * 10^8 Nm²
Explanation:
Given that:
Dimension of football field = 9000 cm by 5500 cm
Area of field = lengtb * width
Area of field = 9000cm * 5500 cm
Area of field = 49500000 cm²
Converting the area to m²
49500000 cm² in m² equals :
49500000 / 10000 = 4950 m²
Pressure = Force / Area
Atmospheric Pressure = 101 Kpa = 101 * 10^3 Pa
Force = pressure * Area
Force = (101 * 10^3) * 4950 m²
Force = 4.99 * 10^8 Nm²
