Question

A force of 1000 newton is applied over an area 50cmx20cm. Find the corresponding pressure

Answer 1

Pressure = force / area

Force = 1000 N[SI units]

Area = 50 x 20 cm^2

=1000cm^2 [not SI units]

= 1 m^2[SI units]

Pressure = 1000/1

=1000 pascal

Answer 2

pressu6
$pressure = force \div area \\ = 1000 \div 50 \times 20 \\ = 1000 \div 1000 \\ = 1n$
