Question

A 10000 Pa pressure is applied on a surface of an object due to force of 500N distributed on that surface. Find the area acting on the surface.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.05 pascal

Explanation:

area= force/pressure

         

Answer 2

$\sf\large{\underline{\underline{Given:}}}$

$\sf{ Pressure = 10000\:pa\:(Pascal)}$

$\sf{ Force = 500\:N}$

$\sf\large{\underline{\underline{To\:Find:}}}$

$\sf{Area\:acting\:on\:that\:surface\:...?}$

$\sf\large{\underline{\underline{Using\:Physics\:Equation:}}}$

$\sf{\implies P = \dfrac{F}{A}}$

$\sf{\implies 10000 = \dfrac{500}{A}}$

$\sf{\implies 10000 \times A = 500}$

$\sf{\implies A = \dfrac{500}{10000}}$

$\sf{\implies A =\dfrac{1}{20} = 0.05 \:N{m}^{-2}}$

$\sf\large{\underline{\underline{Hence:}}}$

$\sf{ Area\:acting\:on\:that\:surface = 0.05\:N\: per\: sq.\: meter}$
