a force of 300 Newton acts on A bullet of area of cross section is 0.6 CM square find the pressure on the bullet
Answers
Here's your answer
Force=300N
Area=0.6cm²=6×10^-5m²
Pressure=Thrust or Force/Area
=300/6×10^-5
=50×10^5
Answer==> 5×10^6 pascal
Hope it helps✌
Force acted on the cross section of the bullet = 300 Newtons
Area of the cross section of the bullet = 0.6 cm²
We know that the units of area and force should be of the same units. Here given SI units of Force is Newtons, Area CGS units of force is cm². So, we need to convet the the area units into SI units.
= 0.6/10000
= 6/100000 ( To eliminate the decimal in numerators I multiplied both numerator and denominator by 100)
= 6/1000000 m²
Area of cross section of bullet = 6/100000 m²
Pressure on bullet = Force/Area
= 300/(6/100000)
= 300 * 100000/6
= 300 * (10 raised to 5)/6
= 100 * (10 raised to 5)/2
= 50 * 10 raised to 5
= 5 * 10 * 10 raised to 5
= 5 * 10 raised to (5 + 1)
= 5 * 10 raised to 6
