Question

A force of 100N when applied over an area of a body, it produces a pressure of 500Pa. Find the area on which the force is applied

Answer 1

we know that ,
pressure = force /area
500 pa = 100N/area
area = 100/500 = 1/5 = 0.2 m²
hope this helps

Answer 2

we know pressure = force /area
i.e area= force / pressure
now,
area=100N/500Pa
area=0.2 m^2
