Question

A force of 10N is acting on an area of 10cm².calculate,the pressure is N/m²

Answer 1

Answer:

PRESSURE = FORCE/AREA

THANKS

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

Force acting = 10 N

Area over which the force acts = 10 cm²

To find:

Pressure in Pascals(N/m²)

Conversion :

Pascals or N/m² is an SI unit of pressure . So, we need to convert 10 cm² to m² unit.

10 cm² = 10/10⁴ m² = 0.001 m²

Calculation:

$pressure = \dfrac{force}{area}$

$= > pressure = \dfrac{10}{ {10}^{ - 3} }$

$= > pressure = 10 \times {10}^{3}$

$= > pressure = {10}^{4} N {m}^{ - 2}$

So final answer is:

$\boxed{ \red{ \large{ \bold{pressure = {10}^{4} N {m}^{ - 2} }}}}$

Additional information:

• Pressure refers to the force acting per unit area .
• While calculation of pressure , we always need to take perpendicular force as compared to the surface plane.
• SI unit of Pressure is Pascal (P) ; also written as N/m².
