Question

A force of 16N acts on an area 50cm2. What is the pressure in pascal

Answer 1

Explanation:

this is the answer to the question

Answer 2

Answer:

The pressure is 3200 pascal.

Explanation:

We will use the following formula to calculate pressure,

$P=\frac{F}{A}$        (1)

Where,

P=pressure acting over an area

F=force acting

A=area over which the force is acting

From the question we have,

The force acting(F)=16N

The area over which the force is acting=50cm²=50×10⁻⁴m²

By placing the value of "F" and "A" in equation (1) we get;

$P=\frac{16}{50\times 10^-^4}$

$P=\frac{16\times 10^4}{50}$

$P=16\times 200$

$P=3200\ Pascal$

Hence, the pressure is 3200 pascal.
