The area = 313.612 cm²
Further explanation
Force (F) can cause objects to move
While pressure (P)is the force per unit area
[tex]\tt P=\dfrac{F}{A}[/tex]
weight=force=105 pounds(lb)⇒english units
pressure = 2.16 lb/in²
Thea are (A)
[tex]\tt A=\dfrac{F}{P}=\dfrac{105}{2.16}=48.61~in^2\\\\1~in^2=6,4516~cm^2\\\\48.61~in^2=313,612~cm^2[/tex]
