Question

A force of 1200 Newton acts on the surface of area 10cm2 normally.what would be the pressure on the surface area​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 6/5

Explanation:

pressure =force/area

area=10cm2

change cm into m

10×100=1000m2

Hence,1200/1000

=6/5

Answer 2

Answer:

0.12 P

Explanation:

Here, Given Force = 1200 N and,

Given area on which the force is acting = 10 cm²

Converting these to SI units, we have

Force = 1200 N (because SI unit of force is Newton)

And

Area = 10*100 *100 sq.m = 1/1000 sq.m = 0.001 sq.m (because SI unit of area is sq.m and 1 sq.cm = 100*100 sq.m)

We know that Pressure = Force/Area = 1200/10000 = 12/100 = 0.12 P

Hence Pressure is 0.12 P.
