A student presses her palm by her thumb with a force of 75 N . What would be the pressure under her thumb having contact area is 1.5 cm2

Pressure = 50 N/cm²

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 75 N

Area = 1.5 cm²

Find:

Pressure

Computation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = 75 / 1.5

Pressure = 50 N/cm²

Answer(a)   the matererials that are in contact, the two materials and the nature of their surfaces/// (b)/// the force pushing the two surfaces together, pushing the surfaces together causes the more of the asperities to come together and increases the surface area in contact with each other
