Answer 1

Correct Question:-

Calculate the pressure produced by a force of 750N acting on an area of 5.0m².

Answer :-

• The pressure is $\bf{{150Nm}^{-2}}$ or 150Pa.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• The pressure

Solution:

Given that,

• The force = 750N
• The area of contact = 5.0m²

As we know that,

$\dag \: \: \: \underline{\boxed{\bf{\purple{P = \dfrac{F}{A}}}}}$

Where,

• P = Pressure
• F = Force
• A = Area of contact

According the question,

$\sf{\mapsto \: Pressure \: (P) = \dfrac{Force \: (F)}{Area \: of \: contact \: (A)}}$

$\sf{\mapsto \: Pressure \: (P) = \dfrac{750 \: N}{{5.0m}^{2}}} \\ \\ \\ \sf{\mapsto \: Pressure \: (P) = \cancel{\dfrac{750 \: N}{{5.0m}^{2}}}} \\ \\ \\ \sf{\mapsto \: Pressure \: (P) = \bf{150 \: {Nm}^{ - 2} \: \: \sf{or} \: \: \bf{150Pa}}}$

Hence,

$\underline{\sf{ \therefore \: The \: \: pressure \: \: is \: \: {150Nm}^{-2} \: \: or \: \: 150Pa.}}$

Additional information

Some more information related to pressure :-

• The S.I. unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).
• Force (F) = Pressure × Area of contact
• Pressure (P) = Force ÷ Area of contact
• 1Pa = $\sf{{150Nm}^{-2}}$.
