A student investigates the pressure that different objects exert on a bench.
A fluid is a substance that can flow. Give one example of a fluid.
Write down the equation that links the pressure at a surface, the force normal to that surface and the area of that surface.
A block exerts a force of 240 N normal to the bench. The area of the block in contact with the bench is 0.030 m2. Calculate the pressure the block exerts on the bench. Give the unit.
