Question

2. Calculate the force that an object exerts on a surface if its contact area is 2.0m2 and the pressure it exerts is 400 N.

Answer 1

Answer:

Force = 400 N

Here will be force because force is measured in Newton.

Contact Area = 2 m2

Therefore, Pressure = Force ÷ Contact Area

=> Force exerted = 400 ÷ 2

=> Force exerted = 200 Pa.

(Pa = Pascal)

Hence, The force that the object exerts is 200 Pa.
