Question

A force of 500 N acting on an area exerts a pressure of 25 N/cm2.What is the area on which the force acts? Convert the pressure in S.I.unit.

Answer 1

Given data:
Force= 500N
pressure = 25N\cm2
pressure= 25/ (100)2 N/m2
P= 0.025N\m2
Solution:
Pressure= Force/Area
0.025= (500)/Area
0.025(Area)= 500
Area= 500/0.025
Area= 20000m2
