Question

2. A force of 100 N when applied over an area of a body, it produces a pressure of 500 Pa. Find the area on which the force is applied. [Ans. 0.2 m)​

Answer 1

Answer:

• 0.2 m².

Explanation:

Given:

A force of 100N is applied over an area of a body.

It produces a pressure of 500Pa.

To find:

Area on which the force is applied.

Solution:

We know,

• Pressure = Force/Area

We have,

• Pressure = 500
• Force = 100

To find,

• Area

Substituting,

• 500 = 100/Area
• Area = 100/500

∴ Area = 0.2 m²
