A forestry worker accidentally strikes a pipe with the end of a
pickaxe while trying to dig a hole. If
the pickaxe strikes with a force of
2000 N and the end of the pickaxe
measures 0.02 m by 0.01 m, how much
pressure is exerted on the pipe by the
pickaxe?

In what direction does the medium move relative to the direction of the wave? explain.
