Question

A drawing pin is pushed against a wooden table with a force of 10N calculate the pressure exerted by the pin at a point on a table , if the area of the point is 180 cm square​

Answer 1

Answer:-

• Force=10N
• Area=180cm^2

Convert to m^2

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 180\times 0.0001$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.018m^2$

we know

$\boxed{\sf Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{10}{0.018}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=555.5Pa$
