Question

A force of 1200 N acts on the surface of area 10 m2 normally. What would be the pressure on the surface?
​

Answer 1

Gɪᴠᴇɴ :-

• Force (F) = 1200 N
• Area (A) = 10 m²

ᴛᴏ ғɪɴᴅ :-

• Pressure (P)

sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :-

We know that,

➭ Pressure × Area = Force

➭ P × A = F

So,

➭ P × 10 = 1200

➭ P = 1200/10

➭ P = 120 N / m² or Pascals

Hence,

• Pressure is 120 Pascals

Answer 2

Pressure = 120 pascals .

Given :-

Force (F) = 1200N

Area (A) = 10m²

To Find :-

Pressure (P) = ?

Solution :-

As we know that,

F = P × A

( Where, F is Force and P is Pressure or A is Area)

=> 1200 = P × 10

=> P = 1200/10

=> P = 120N/m²

.°. P = 120pascals.
