If the point of the nail can be approximated as a circle with a radius 2.00×10^-3m What is the pressure in MPa exerted on the wall if a hammer strikes the nail with a force of 104 N

8.28 MPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the area of the nail (i.e circle). This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Area (A) of circle =?

Pi (π) = 3.14

A = πr²

A = 3.14 × (2×10¯³)²

A = 3.14 × 4×10¯⁶

A = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Next, we shall determine the pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Area (A) = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F / A

P = 104 / 1.256×10¯⁵

P = 8280254.78 Nm¯²

Finally, we shall convert 8280254.78 Nm¯² to MPa. This can be obtained as follow:

1 Nm¯² = 1×10¯⁶ MPa

Therefore,

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8280254.78 Nm¯² × 1×10¯⁶ MPa / 1 Nm¯²

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8.28 MPa

Thus, the pressure exerted on the wall is 8.28 MPa
