Question

A force of 100 N is acting on an area of 4msq of a surface. What would be the pressure exerted on the surface?​

Answer 1

doctor in the mouse and keyboard for the same thing

Answer 2

Magnitude of the Force = 100 N

Area of the surface where it acts = 4 m²

We know,

P = F/A

where,

• P = Pressure,
• F = Magnitude of Force exerted
• A = Area

∴ P = (100 N)/(4 m²)

→ P = 25 N/m²

→ P = 25 Pa (Pascals)

∴ Pressure exerted on the surface was of 25 Pascals.
