Question

A force of 300 N, while acting on an area A , produces a pressure of 12500 Pa.

Calculate the magnitude of A. ​

Answer 1

pressure=force/area

given ,

Force=f=300N, area=A, pressure=p=12500Pa

Now

12500=300/A

A=12500/300

A=125/3

A=41.67m²

Answer 2

Answer:

The magnitude of A is 0.024 m²

Explanation:

Given,

A force of 300 N, while acting on an area A , produces a pressure of 12500 Pa.

To find: Calculate the magnitude of A.

Solution:

Pressure is defined as thrust(or force) per unit area.

i.e P = F / A

here, F = 300 N and P = 12500 Pa

Substituting the values,

12500 = 300 / A

or, A = 300 / 12500

or, A = 0.024 m²

Therefore, The magnitude of A is 0.024 m²
