Question

)A force of 100N is applied on a rectangular object of length 4m and

breadth 2m. Compute pressure being applied on the area.​

Answer 1

Given:

• Force = 100 N

• Length of the rectangular object = 4m

• Breadth of the rectangular object = 2m

To find :

• Pressure being applied on the area .

Solution :

• As we know that:

$\star \boxed{ \bold{ pressure = \frac{force}{area} }}$

First find the area of the rectangular object .

• Area of the rectangular object = lenght × breadth

=> Area =( 4×2) m

=> Area = 8 m².

Now ,

$\implies \: pressure \: = \frac{100}{8} \\ \\ \implies \: pressure \: = 12.5$

Hence , the pressure is 12.5 N/m².

Answer 2

p= F/A

p = 100/ 4×2

P= 100 /8

p = 12.5
