Question

A force of 3000 N acts on an area and creates a pressure of 12 N/m 2 . What is the area over which the
force is acting?

Answer 1

Answer:

250m^2

Explanation:

Pressure=force /area

area=force/pressure

Answer 2

area is 250m²

Explanation:-

Correct question:A force of 3000 N acts on an area and creates a pressure of 12 N/m 2 . What is the area over which the force is acting?

Given:

Force : 3000N

Pressure : 12N/m²

Approach:

we know that,

$pressure = \frac{force}{area}$

Solution:

putting the value of force and pressure:-

12 = $\frac{3000}{area}$

or,

area= $\frac{3000}{12}$

or,

area= 250m²

Hence, area is 250m²
