Question

a force of 100N is applied to an object of area 20cm.calculate the pressure?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

$p \: = \: \frac{force}{area}$

therefore

$\frac{100}{0.2} \\ 500nm^{ - 2}$

Answer 2

Given :-

Force applied to an object = 100 N

Area of the object = 20 cm

To Find :-

The pressure of the object.

Analysis :-

Here we are given with the force and the area of the object.

Substitute the given values from the question such that pressure is equal to force divided by the area and find the pressure accordingly.

Solution :-

We know that,

• p = Pressure
• a = Area
• f = Force

Using the formula,

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

Given that,

Force (f) = 100 N

Area (a) = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Substituting their values,

⇒ p = f/a

⇒ p = 100/0.2

⇒ p = 500 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure of the object is 500 N/m².
