Answer:
P = 98100 [Pa]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between the force and the area where force is applied.
P = F/A
where:
F = force [N] (Newtons)
A = area = 0.3[m^2]
P = pressure [N/m^2] or [Pa] (pascals)
F = m*g
where:
m = mass = 3 [Ton] = 3000 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]
F = 3000*9.81 = 29430 [N]
Now replacing
P = 29430/0.3
P = 98100 [Pa]
