Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass support is
M = 0.95g= 0.95/1000 = 0.00095kg
Radius of circle R = 0.205mm
r = 0.205/1000 = 0.000205m
Then, area of the circle can be determined using
A = πr²
A = π × 0.000205²
A = 1.32 × 10^-7 m²
From pressure definitions
Pressure = Force / Area
The force is perpendicular to the area
Force = weight = mg
F = mg = 0.00095 × 9.8
F = 9.31 × 10^-3 N
Then,
Pressure = Force / Area
P = F/A
P = 9.31 × 10^-3 / 1.32 × 10^-7
P = 70,530.30 N/m²
Since 1 pascal = 1 N/m²
Then,
P = 70,530.30 Pascals
