Question

A force of 300 N creates a pressure of 4 N/metre square. Over what area is the force acting?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area is the 75 m².

$\large\underline\mathrm\red{GIVEN \: :-}$

• Force, f = 300 N
• Pressure = 4 N/m².

$\large\underline\mathrm\blue{FORMULA \: :-}$

• Pressure = Force/area

$\large\underline\mathrm\purple{TO \: FIND \: :-}$

• The area on which the force acting.

$\large\underline\mathrm\green{SOLUTION \: :-}$

Pressure = Force/area

$\rightarrow$ 4 N/m² = 300 N/area

→ Area = 300/4

→ Area = 75 m².

$\therefore$ The area on which the force acting is 75 m².

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :

Force : Force is a pull or push on an object.

• Force is a vector quantity.
• SI unit of force = kg m/s and Newton.
• Force = mass × acceleration. F = m × a

Answer 2

Given :-

• Force = 300N.

• Pressure = 4N/m²

To Find :-

• Area On which Force is acting.

Solution :-

We know that,

Pressure = Force/Area.

Put the values.

➛4 = 300/Area.

➛4 × Area = 300.

➛Area = 300/4.

➛Area = 75m²

✔ Hence, Area = 75m².
