Question

a box of weight 10 N with an area of 10 meter square will exert
1) 1 unit of pressure
2) 10 unit of pressure
3) 100 unit of pressure
4) 1000 unit of pressure ​

Answer 1

Required solution:

• Weight = Force = 10 N
• Area = 10 metre sq.

To determine:

• Pressure

Solution:

• Pressure = 1 unit

Using concept:

• Pressure formula

Using formula:

• Pressure = Force/Area

Required solution:

»»» Pressure = Force/Area

»»» Pressure = 10/10

»»» Pressure = 1 unit

Henceforth, option (1) is correct option. Therefore, 1 unit of pressure is correct answer. $\:$
