Question on: JAMB Physics - 2003

The stylus of a phonograph record exerts a force of 7.7 x 10-2N on a groove of radius 10-5m. Compute the pressure exerted by the stylus on the groove

A
2.45 x 108 Nm-2
B
3.45 x 108 Nm-2
C
4.90 x 108 Nm-2
D
2.42 x 108 Nm-2
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A

Pressure P = F/A

= F/πr2

= 7.7 x 10-2
π x (10-5)2
= 7.7 x 10-2
π x 10-10

= 2.45 x 108 Nm-2
