Question

A force 100n acts perpendicularly on a surface of area 5m2. Find the pressure​

Answer 1

GivEn:

• Force acting = 100N
• Area = 5m²

To finD:

• Pressure

Solution:

We are given that force acting is 100N on area of 5m².

Units :

• Unit of force = Newton ( N)
• Area = square metres ( m²)
• Pressure = Pascal ( Pa)

In order to find pressure,

We know that:

Pressure = $\large{\bf{\dfrac{Force}{Area}}}$

Now, putting values in formula:

Pressure = $\large{\bf{\dfrac{Force}{Area}}}$

→ Pressure = $\large{\bf{\dfrac{100}{5}}}$

→ Pressure = $\large{\bf{\cancel\dfrac{100}{5}}}$

→ Pressure = 20

Therefore,

$\large{\tt{\pink{\ Pressure\: \: =\:\: 20 \: Pa}}}$
