Let's solve this question step by step:
1. Identify the given values:
- Force ([tex]\( F \)[/tex]) applied: 1,306 newtons (N)
- Area ([tex]\( A \)[/tex]) over which the force is applied: 16 square meters (m²)
2. Write down the pressure formula:
[tex]\[
P = \frac{F}{A}
\][/tex]
Here, [tex]\( P \)[/tex] represents the pressure, [tex]\( F \)[/tex] represents the force, and [tex]\( A \)[/tex] represents the area.
3. Plug in the given values into the equation:
[tex]\[
P = \frac{1306}{16}
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the pressure:
When you divide 1,306 by 16, you get approximately 81.625 pascals (Pa).
5. Round the result to the nearest whole unit:
The pressure, when rounded to the nearest whole unit, is 82 pascals (Pa).
Thus, the pressure applied inside the container is [tex]\( 82 \)[/tex] Pa. The correct answer is:
82 Pa
