Question

5. A force of 50 N exerts a pressure of 500 Pa at a certain area. How can you increase the pressure to 5000 Pa by applying the same force?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for pressure P = force / area = F / A

condition 1

force = 50N

pressure = 500 pa

area A = F / P = 50 / 500 = 0.1 m^2

condition 2

force = 50N

pressure = 5000 pa

area A = F / P = 50 / 5000 = 0.01 m^2

increase in area = ( 0.1 - 0.01) m^2

increase in area = 0.99 m^2
