Question

A force of 100 n is applied to an object of area 200 m^2. calculate the pressure

Answer 1

pressure = force/area
P=100/200
=1/2=.5 N/m sq

Answer 2

AnswEr:

GivEn:

• Force (f) = 100 Newton
• Area (a) = 200 m²

To Find:

• Pressure releasing in the observation?

Solution:

$\\ \bullet{\boxed{\sf{ Pressure = \dfrac{Force}{Area} }}}$

Pressure is the force acting perpendicularly ok a unit area of the object.

Now,

we can put the values ;

$\implies{\sf{ P = \dfrac{ \cancel{100}^{ \: 50} N}{ \cancel{2} m^2} }} \\ \\ \implies\sf{50 \: N/m^2} \\ \\ \implies\sf{ 50 \: Pascals}$

Thus,

The pressure is 50 Newtons/ metres

( 50 pa ).

Extra Dose:

• The same force can produce different pressures depending on the area over which it acts.

• If the same force acts over a small area of the objects, it produces a large pressure.

• The SI unit of measuring pressure is N/m² which is called Pascal (pa).
