Question

A force of 100 newton acts on an area of 50 square meter. What is the pressure in the pascel

Answer 1

GIVEN:

• Force = 100N
• Area = 50 m²

TO FIND:

• What is the pressure applied on the. substance ?

SOLUTION:

Let the pressure applied on the substance be 'P' Pascal

To find the pressure applied on the substance, we use the formula:-

❰ PRESSURE = $\bf{\dfrac{FORCE}{AREA}}$ ❱

According to question:-

On putting the given values in the formula, we get

• Force = 100N
• Pressure = P Pascal
• Area = 50 m²

➸ P = $\sf{\cancel\dfrac{100}{50}}$

❮ PRESSURE = 2 Pascal ❯

❝ Hence, the pressure applied on the substance is 2 Pa. ❞

Answer 2

Given ,

• Force (F) = 100 N
• Area (A) = 50 m²

As we know that ,

The pressure is defined as the force per unit area

$\boxed{ \sf{Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area} }}$

The SI unit of pressure is " Pascal " or " N/m² "

It is vector quantity

Substitute the known values , we get

Pressure = 100/50

Pressure = 2 Pascal

Therefore ,

• The pressure is 2 Pascal
