MCQ
Average pressure pav is defined as:
- A
- B
- C
- D
✓
Answer
-
$\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}$
Explanation:
If F is the magnitude of the normal force acting over an area A, then the average pressure p is defined as the normal force acting per unit area.
$\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}$
