A force of 100 N is applied on an area of area of 4 m2.Compute pressure being applied on the area.
Answers
Answer:
Pressure= Force / Area
= 100/4
= 25 N/ m².
A force of 100 N is applied on an area of area of 4 m².Compute pressure being applied on the area.
➵Pressure =Force/Area
➵Here, Force = 100 N
➵ And, Area = 4 m².
Now putting the values in the formula for pressure:
Thus, the pressure is 25 newtons per square metre or 25 pascals.
➵ A push or pull on an object is called a force.
➵ Pull refers ----> moving away
➵ Push refers ----> towards ourselves
➵ SI unit of force is Newton (whose abbreviation is N).
➵ Formula for force ,
F = ma
Where,
m = mass
a = acceleration
➵ The rate of change if velocity with respect to time is called acceleration.
➵ Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction.
➵ Pressure is the force acting on a unit area of the object.
➵ SI unit of measuring pressure is 'newtons per square metre' (N/m²) which is also called as pascals (Pa).
➵ Pressure depends on two factors :
(i) Force applied
(ii) Area over which force acts.
