Question

A force of 15 newton applied over a surface area of 0.6 meter square. What is the pressure

Answer 1

presuure equals to the ratio of force and area
so pressure = 15/0.6
=25pascal

Answer 2

Answer : Pressure, P = 25 Pa

Explanation :

It is given that,

Applied force, F = 15 N

Surface area, $A=0.6\ m^2$

Pressure is defined as the force acting per unit area.

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{15\ N}{0.6\ m^2}$

$P=25\ N/m^2$

The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).

So, the pressure exerted due to this force is 25 Pa.

Hence, this is the required solution.
