Question

A force of 200 N, while acting on an area A, produces a pressure of 1600 Pa. What is the magnitude of A in cm2 ? *
2 points

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure = force/ area

Therefore, area = force/ pressure

area = 300N / 1500 Pa = 1 / 5 sq.m

Now, 1m = 100cm.

Therefore, 100×100/5 = 2000 sq.cm
