Question

A force of 100 N is applied on an area of 4 m2. Compute pressure being applied on the area.

Answer 1

Given,

Force = 100 N

The area on which force is applied = 4 m²

To Find,

The pressure is being applied to the area.

Solution,

The formula of pressure is

pressure = force/area

               = 100/4

               = 25 N/m²

Hence, the value of pressure applied on the are of 4 m² is 25 N/m².

Answer 2

Answer:

The pressure applied on the given area, P = $25Nm^{2}$.

Explanation:

Given,

The force applied on an area, F = $100N$

The given area of cross-section, A = $4 m^{2}$

The pressure applied on the area, P =?

As we know,

• Pressure is force per unit area.
• Pressure = $\frac{Force}{Area}$

After putting the given values in the equation, we get:

• Pressure = $\frac{100}{4}$
• Pressure = $25Nm^{2}$

Hence, the pressure applied on the given area, P = $25Nm^{2}$.
