If you know the amount of air pressure exerted on a tabletop, how can you calculate the force exerted on the tabletop? multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop. divide the air pressure by the area of the tabletop. divide the area of the tabletop by the air pressure. add the air pressure and the area of the tabletop.

Multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

Explanation:

The relationship between pressure, force and area is given by:

where in this case, p is the air pressure, F is the force exerted and A the area of the tabletop. By re-arranging the equation, we can solve for F, the force exerted:

So, the correct answer is:

The force exerted on the tabletop can be found by multiplying the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.
