Answer:
The pressure is
.
Explanation:
Calculate the area of the rectangular container.
A=LB
Here, L is the length and B is the breadth.
Put L=0.125 m and B= 0.209 m.
A=(0.125)(0.209)
The expression for the pressure in terms of area and force is as follows;
Here, P is the pressure and F is the force.
Put
and F= 4.47 N.
Therefore, the pressure of the given sample is
.
