Question

A force of 200 N is applied on an area of 8 metre square . Compute pressure applied on the

area​

Answer 1

Required Answer:

Given:

• Force applied (F) = 200N
• Area (A) = $\sf { 8{m}^{2}}$

To calculate:

• Pressure applied

Calculation:

We know that,

• ${\underline {\boxed {\small {\sf { Pressure (P)=\dfrac{Force(F)}{Area(A)} } }}}}$

$\sf { \longrightarrow P = \dfrac{200}{8} }$

$\sf { \longrightarrow P = \dfrac{100}{4} }$

$\sf { \longrightarrow 25~Pa }$$\purple {\bigstar}$

Therefore, pressure applied on the object is 25 Pa.

Answer 2

F = 200 N

A = 8 m²

We know,

P = F × A^-1

⇒P = (200 N) ÷ (8 m²)

{Putting the values}

⇒P = 25 N/m²

⇒P = 25 Pa

{N/m² = Pa. It stands for "Pascal". It is given in the honour of a great mathematician, Blaise Pascal}
