100N

=25Pa

Answer 2

Given :-

Force applied = 100 N

Area = 4 cm²

To Find :-

Compute pressure being applied on the area.

Analysis :-

Here, we are given with force and the area.

Substitute the values given such that pressure equals force divided by the area.

Solution :-

We know that,

• f = Force
• p = Pressure
• a = Area

Using the formula,

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

Given that,

Force applied (f) = 100 N

Area (a) = 4 cm²

Substituting their values,

p = f/a

p = 100/4

p = 25 Pa

Therefore, pressure applied on the area is 25 Pa.
