Question

A force of 16N acts on an area of 5m2. What is the pressure in pascal?

Answer 1

Answer:

Force = 16N

Area = 50 cm2

= 0.005 m2

Pressure = force/area

So, 16/0.005

=3200 Pa

Answer 2

Answer:

3.2 Pa

Explanation:

We have,

=> Force (F) = 16 N

=> Area (A) = 5 m²

To find,

Pressure (P)

Solution,

Here, we have both force and area in S.I units, so there is no need of conversion.

Pressure = Force/Area

=> Pressure = 16/5

∴ Pressure = 3.2 Pa
