Question

A force of 500 N acts on a square piece of plywood eachof whose sides is 5m long..... Calculate the pressure acting on the piece of plywood

Answer 1

Hey!!!
Given,
Force (F) = 500N
Area of square= (side)²
= 5²
A 25m²
We know that Pressure is the force' that acts on per unit area,
So,

Pressure (P)= F/A
= 500/25
=20 N/m²
Hence Pressure acting on the pietof plywood is 20N/m².

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey!!!

Given,

Force (F) = 500N

Area of square= (side)²

= 5²

A 25m²

We know that Pressure is the force' that acts on per unit area,

So,

Pressure (P)= F/A

= 500/25

=20 N/m²

Hence Pressure acting on the pietof plywood is 20N/m².
