A balloon is a sphere with a radius of 5.0 m. The force of air against the walls of the balloon is 45 N. What is the air pressure inside the balloon? (surface area = 12.56 x radius^2; 1 Pa = 1 N/m^2)

A1.4 x 10^3 Pa

B3.6 x 10^2 Pa

C1.4 x 10^-1 Pa

D3.6 x 10^-2 Pa

***Idk how to solve this... pls explain?? thx :)

Pressure is the force exerted on an object per unit area. The equation is expressed as:

P = F / A

From the given above, we substitute the values to the equation.

P = F/A
P= F / (12.56r²)
P = 45 N / (12.56 x 5²
P = 0.143 N/m²

Therefore, the correct answer is option C, 1.4 x 10^-1 Pa.
