Question

A force of 400 n produces a pressure of 20000pa.Calculate the area of surface on which force acts

Answer 1

$\large{Hello}$ ☺



F = PA



A = F/P



=> A= 400 / 20000



=> Area = $\huge{\frac{1}{50}m^2}$



:-)

Answer 2

Force applied = 400 N

Pressure generated = 20000 Pa

The pressure is defined as the force per unit area.

Let the area be A.

$Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}$

$\( Area = \frac{Force}{Pressure}\)$

Plugging the values of Force and Pressure:

$\( Area = \frac{400}{20000}\)$

Area = 0.02 $m^{2}$

Hence, the area of which the force acts = 0.02 $m^{2}$
