Question

A force of 500 N is applied on an area of 5 m 2 . Compute pressure being applied on the area.

Answer 1

Provided that:

• Force = 500 N
• Area = 5 m sq.

To calculate:

• Pressure

Solution:

• Pressure = 100 Pa

Using concept:

• Pressure formula

Using formula:

• P = F/A

Where, P denotes pressure, F denotes force and A denotes area.

Knowledge required:

• SI unit of pressure = Pascal
• Pa denotes Pascal.
• SI unit of force = Newton(N)
• SI unit of area = m²

Required solution:

»»» P = F/A

»»» Pressure = Force/Area

»»» Pressure = 500/5

»»» Pressure = 100 Pascal $\:$

Additional information:

Force: Push and pull on any object is known as force. Force can be also define as the push or pull on an object that have mass that cause the change in velocity of the object.

Effects of force:

1. Force can move a stationary object.

2. Force can stop a moving object.

3. Force can make the change in the size of the object.

4. Force can make the change in the shape of the object.

5. Force can make the change in the speed of the object.

Types of force: There are two types of force that are balanced force and unbalanced force.

$\begin{gathered}\boxed{\begin{array}{c}\\ {\pmb{\sf{Some \: formulas!}}} \\ \\ \sf \star \: Pressure \: = \dfrac{Force}{Area} \\ \\ \sf \star \: Area \: = \dfrac{Force}{Pressure} \\ \\ \sf \star \: Pressure \times Area = Force \end{array}}\end{gathered}$

Answer 2

⇝Given :

• Force of 500 N is applied.
• Area on which force is applied = 5m².

⇝To Find :

• Find pressure = ?

⇝Solution :

❒Formula for pressure :

${\red{\bigstar \: \: {\orange{\underbrace{\underline{\mathfrak{Pressure = \frac{force}{area} }}}}}}}$

❒Here,

Pressure = ?

Force = 500 N

Area = 5m²

❒Than,

${\twoheadrightarrow{\sf{Pressure = \frac{force}{area} }}}$

${\twoheadrightarrow{\sf{Pressure = {\cancel\frac{500}{5} }}}}$

${\large{\purple{:{\mapsto{\underline{\boxed{\bf{100 \:Pascal}}}}}}}}$

❒So,

${\red{\underline{\green{\underline{\boxed{\mathfrak{Pressure = 100 \:Pascal}}}}}}}$
