Question

A force of 10 N acts normally on a surface area 0.5 square metre. Find the pressure exerted on the surface. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 pascal

Explanation:

$pressure \: = \frac{force}{area}$

Given, Force = 10N, Area = 0.5 square metre.

$therefore \: \: pressure = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 \: \: pascal$

Answer 2

Answer:

20 pascal

Explanation:

pressure \: = \frac{force}{area}pressure=

area

force

Given, Force = 10N, Area = 0.5 square metre.

therefore \: \: pressure = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 \: \: pascalthereforepressure=
