Question

A force of 60 N acts on a body having an area of cross-section 5 cm2. Calculate the pressure exerted
by the body.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

P=F/A

P=60/5

P=12

Ans:12

Answer 2

Explanation:

P=F/area

P=F/areaP=60n/ 5cm×5cm/100×100(a pascal is in N/m^2)

P=F/areaP=60n/ 5cm×5cm/100×100(a pascal is in N/m^2)=60N×20×20/1m^2 ( the 100 came to 60N level and was divided by 5)

P=F/areaP=60n/ 5cm×5cm/100×100(a pascal is in N/m^2)=60N×20×20/1m^2 ( the 100 came to 60N level and was divided by 5)=24000 Pa.
