if a skydiver with a surface area of 2m sq falls at a steady speed of 55m/s with a force of 900N what is the pressure on her?
To determine the pressure on the skydiver, we can use the formula for pressure:
Pressure = Force / Area
Given that the force on the skydiver is 900 N and the surface area is 2 m², we can substitute these values into the formula:
Pressure = 900 N / 2 m²
Using simple division, we can calculate the pressure:
Pressure = 450 N/m²
Therefore, the pressure on the skydiver is 450 Newtons per square meter (N/m²).
