a persons eardrum has an area of 0.000200 m^2. How much force does the outside air at 1.00 atm exert on the eardrum

Respuesta :

Answer:

20.3N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Area of the eardrum  = 0.0002m²

Pressure on the eardrum  = 1atm  = 101325Nm⁻²

Unknown:

Force exerted on the eardrum  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area impacted on a body.

      Pressure  = [tex]\frac{Force }{area}[/tex]  

  Force  = Pressure x  area

Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Force  =  101325Nm⁻²  x  0.0002m²  = 20.3N
