Question

A force of 12 newton is uniformly distributed over an area of 120 CM square. Find the pressure in pascals

Answer 1

Pressure =Force/Area =12N/ 120 sq.cm. =12/120×10^-4 N/m =1000N/m =1000 Pascals.

Answer 2

Answer :

Given -

• Force = 12 N
• Area = 120 cm² = 120/10000 m²

To Find -

• Pressure ?

Solution -

Pressure is said to be force applied on an area.

So, Pressure = Force/Area

Hence,

⇒ Pressure = 12/(120/10000)

⇒ Pressure = 12 * 10000/120

⇒ Pressure = 10000/10

⇒ Pressure = 1000 Pa

Hence, Pressure produced is = 1000 Pa.
