Question

A force of 20N is applied on an area of 10 sq m. Calculate the pressure acting on the area.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2N/Sq m

Explanation:

Pressure = force/ Area

then, 20N / 10 Sq m = 2 N/Sq m

Answer 2

Answer -

• The pressure acting on the area of 10 m² = 2N/m².

To calculate -

• The pressure acting on the area.

Step-by-step explanation -

• Here, it is given that a force of 20N is applied on an area of 10 m². We have to calculate the pressure acting on this area.

We know that -

$\bigstar \: \underline{\boxed{\sf Pressure = \dfrac{Force}{Area}}}$

Here -

• Force = 20N.
• Area = 10 m².

Therefore -

$\longrightarrow \: \mathfrak{Pressure = \cancel{\dfrac{20}{10} }}$

$\longrightarrow \: \mathfrak{Pressure = 2N/ {m}^{2} }$

Hence -

• The pressure acting on the area of 10 m² is 2N/m².

Some more formulae -

$\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf Force = Pressure \times Area}$

$\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf Area = \dfrac{Force}{Pressure}}$
