Question

A force of 100N is applied to an object of area 2m square . Calculate the pressure.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure = 50 N/m²

Explanation:

A force of 100N is applied to an object of area 2m square . Calculate the pressure.

Pressure = Force / Area

Force = 100 N

Area = 2m²

Pressure = 100/2

=> Pressure = 50 N/m²

Answer 2

Basic concepts :

Force is push or pull that causes an Acceleration in a body. Basically Force is the cause of change of state. Force exerted on unit area, is the Pressure exerted on the body.

Solution :

In the given question,

Force applied = 100 N

Area of the object = 2m²

Both are in S. I. Units. So need to convert into any other system.

Pressure exerted by a force on a object of Area is given by,

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

$\sf \: Pressure = \frac{100N}{2m ^ { 2} } \\ \\ P = 50kg {m}^{ - 1} {s}^{2} = 50Pa$

Therefore,

A force of 100N is applied to an object of area 2m square. The pressure is 50 Pa.
