Answer:
3.33×10⁸ Pa
Explanation:
Pressure: This can be defined as the force acting normally (perpendicular) per unit area. The S.I unit of force is N/m² or Pa.
P = F/A.................. Equation 1
Where F = force created with the tooth, A = Area.
Given: F = 360 N, A = 1.08 mm² = 1.08/1000000 = 1.08×10⁻⁶m.
Substitute this values into equation 1
P = 360/1.08×10⁻⁶
P = 3.33×10⁸ Pa.
Hence the pressure created = 3.33×10⁸ Pa
