Question

a drawing pin is pushed against a wooden table with a force of 10N. calculate thepressure exerted by the pin at a point on a table,if the area of the point is 180cm2​

Answer 1

Given:-

• Force ,F = 10 N

• Area ,A = 180 cm² = 0.018m²

To Find:-

• Pressure ,P

Solution:-

As we know that Pressure is defined as the Force per unit area.

• P = F/A

Where,

P is the Pressure

F is the Force

A is the Area

Substitute the value we get

→ P = 10/0.018

→ P = 555.55 Pa

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the pin is 555.55 Pascal.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

Force (F) = 10 N

Area (A) =180 cm

To Find :-

Pressure (P)

Solution :-

As we know that

P = F/A

Here,

P = Pressure

F = Force

A = Area

P = 10/0.018

P = 55.555 Pa
