Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A platform of area 4 m² supports a force of 120 N. Calculate the pressure and analyze what happens when the area is doubled while keeping the force constant.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to how area affects pressure.
In a scenario where thrust increases from 30 N to 90 N on the same area of 3 m², how does the pressure change? Calculate both pressures and compare.
💡 Hint: Use the pressure formula for your calculations.
