A force of 90 Newton's is applied to a 20cm2 surface. The force applied is then increased by 5 Newton's and the surface is increased by 5cm2 what percentage does the outcome decrease by

15.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

The force applied, F,  to the surface is 90N.

The area, A, of the surface is =

The pressure on the surface is:

P = F / A = 90 / 0.002 = 45000 Nm^2

The force is increased by 5N, the new force is 95N.

The surface area is increased by 5 cm^2 = 0.0005 m^2. The new surface area is 0.0025 m^2.

The pressure is now:

P = 95 / 0.0025 = 38000 Nm^2

The percentage decreased is gotten by dividing the difference in the two values by the old value and then multiplying by 100.

=> Difference = 45000 - 38000 = 7000

% decrease is therefore:

= 7000 / 45000 * 100 = 15.56%

There was a 15.56% decrease.

i pretty sure it is

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?
