A force of 250 N, while acting on an area X produces a pressure of 1000 Pa. Calculate the magnitude
of X in cm?
Answers
Given:
✰ Force ( F ) = 250 N
✰ Force is acting on an area X.
✰ Pressure ( P ) = 1000 Pa
To find:
✠ Calculate the magnitude of X in cm square.
Solution:
Pressure is the force that is acting per unit area.
- Effect of a force on a surface besides its magnitude, depends on the surface area over which the force is applied. Bigger the area, lesser will be the effect of the force on the surface area.
✭ Pressure = Force/Area ✭
➥ P = F/A
➥ A = F/P
Putting the values in the formula and then doing the required calculations, we have:
➥ X = 250/1000
➥ X = 25/100
➥ X = 5/20
➥ X = 1/4
➥ X = 0.25 m²
If need to find the magnitude of X in terms of cm square.
➥ 1 m² = 100 × 100 cm²
➥ 1 m² = 10000 cm²
➥ 0.25 m² = 0.25 × 10000 cm²
➥ X = 2500 cm²
∴ The magnitude of X ( Area ) in cm square = 2500 cm²
