Question

a 200n force existed on an area of 1m squared . calculate the pressure on this surface

Answer 1

Answer:

A 200N force existed on an area of 1m squared. The pressure on this surface is $200Pa$

Explanation:

we have a relation between the pressure $P$ when a force $F$ is applied at a particular area $A$ , which is given by the formula

$P=F/A$

from the question, it is given that

the exerted force is $F=200N$

the area at which the force is exerted $A=1m^{2}$

substitute the given values in the first equation to get pressure

⇒

the pressure is $P=200/1=200Pa$

which is the required answer
