If a board with an area of 3m2 has a 12 N force exerted on it what is the pressure on the board?

Simply
Pressure = Force/Area
Force=12N
Area=40m2
P=12/40
Pressure=0.3 N/m2
For Fun: would the pressure be greater from an elephant or an adult male?
Area of one elephant foot = 0.75 x 0.75 m2
Area of four elephant feet = 2.25 m2
Area of one human foot = 0.27 x 0.1 m2
Area of four human feet = 0.108 m2
Weight of elephant = 30000 N
Weight of human = 850 N
Pressure on elephant's feet = 13333 N
Pressure on human's feet = 7870 N
Not a Huge difference!!!!

What is the force exerted on surface divided by the area over whech the force is exerted?
That's the pressure on that particular area.
Why pressure is inversely proportional to volume?
Pressure is given as Force per unit area (ie. 1 Pascal of pressure is the experienced when 1 Newton of force is exerted over an area of 1m^2). Therefore Pressure and Force are proportional to one another. Area the force is exerted over is inversely proportional to pressure.
There are 9 newtons on a table The book occupies an area that is 0.3 square meters What is the pressure exerted by the book on the table in pascals?
Pressure = Force/Area Pressure = 9 Newtons/0.3 m2 Pressure is 30 Pascals
What is pressure?
is the force exerted on a given area
What is divided by surface area to calculate pressure?
That is the force F. p = F / Awhere:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area (surface).
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What is the force exerted on surface divided by the area over whech the force is exerted?
That's the pressure on that particular area.
How do you call the force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure
What is the scientific definition of force?
Pressure depends on the quantity of force exerted and the area over which the force is exerted
What is the pressure exerted by a fluid is the total force exerted by the fluid divide by?
area
Pressure is calculated by dividing force by WHAT over which the force is exerted?
area
What happens to pressure of the force exerted on a given area increases?
The pressure exerted outward by fluids in your body balances the pressure exerted by the atmosphere on the surface of your body. the pressure increases
What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
What is the pressure exerted by a piston if a force of 12N is applied over an area of 1.2m squared?
Pressure is force / area. Just divide the force by the area. The answer is in pascal.
Pressure is equal to the amount of force exerted on an object divided by the volume over which the force is exerted?
Over the area not volume
Why pressure is inversely proportional to volume?
Pressure is given as Force per unit area (ie. 1 Pascal of pressure is the experienced when 1 Newton of force is exerted over an area of 1m^2). Therefore Pressure and Force are proportional to one another. Area the force is exerted over is inversely proportional to pressure.
What is the force exterted on a surface divideed by the total area over which the force is exerted?
The force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted is the pressure. Pressure = Force / Area Pascals = Newtons/ square meters Pa = N/m^2 or psi = lb/in^2 (pounds per square inch)
