Question

A force of 120N is applied to an object of area 3 m2. Find the pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

FORCE APPLIED , F= 120 N

AREA ,A = 3 M².

PRESSURE, P = ?

PRESSURE = FORCE / AREA.

PRESSURE = 120/3

PRESSURE = 40 N/M².

THEREFORE THE FORCE APPLIED ON THE BODY  IS 40 N/M²  OR 40 PASCALS.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

Answer 2

The pressure is 40 Pa

Given : A force of 120N is applied to an object of area 3 m².

To find : The pressure.

Solution :

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process. (our goal is to calculate the pressure)

Here, we will be using the following mathematical formula.

Pressure = Force/Area

In this case,

• Force = 120 N
• Area = 3 m²

By, putting the available data in the above mentioned mathematical formula, we get :

Pressure = 120/3

Pressure = 40 N/m² = 40 Pa (As, 1 N/m² = 1 Pa)

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the pressure is 40 Pa
