A small table weighing 40 N stands on four legs, each having an area of 0.001 m^2 . What is the pressure of the table on the floor?
10000 N/m^2
In which direction does pressure acts?
perpendicular to the surface
State Hooke's Law
Hooke's Law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load applied to it.
Describe the graph of Force against extension.
The graph of force against extension is a straight line.
On which surface should the block be laid to produce the least pressure on the table?
B
what is streamlining?
he contouring of an object, such as an aircraft body, to reduce its drag, or resistance to motion through a stream of air.
The table gives four combinations of the force applied to a surface area and the area over which it acts. Which row gives the largest pressure exerted on the surface?
C
name three things that forces can do
1. Change motion of an object, 2. Change the direction of motion 3. chnge the size and shape of object,
weight is different from mass because weight depends on the _____________
gravitational field strength

How has the change affected the force on the floor, and the pressure exerted by the briefcase on the floor?
A. force - unchanged, pressure - decreased
state the equation used to calculate pressure.
Pressure = force / area

B
What quantity remains constant regardless of a change in gravity?
mass
