Question

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

Answer 1

Pressure= Force/Area
force= 10N area=180cm2=0.18m2

Pressure=10/0.18=1000/18
=55.6 Pa

Answer 2

Answer:

Pressure= Force/Area

force= 10N area=180cm2=0.18m2

Pressure=10/0.18=1000/18
