a force of hundred Newton acts on a surface of area 10 cm square normally what are the thrust and pressure on the surface
Answers
Pressure = Force / Area
= 100 N / (10 cm²)
= 100 N / (0.001 m²)
= 10⁵ Pa
= 1 bar
Pressure on the surface is 1 bar
(i.) Therefore the Thrust is 100 N.
(ii.) Therefore the pressure on the surface is 10 N/cm².
Given:
The applied force F = 100 N
The cross-sectional area on which the force F acts = 10 cm²
To Find:
The thrust and the pressure on the surface.
Solution:
The given question can be solved very easily as shown below.
Given that,
The applied force F = 100 N
The cross-sectional area A = 10 cm²
(i.) Thrust:
Thrust is nothing but the force acting normally.
So Thrust = given force
Therefore the Thrust is 100 N.
(ii.) Pressure on the surface:
Pressure on the surface P = ( Force applied ) / ( cross-sectional area )
⇒ Pressure on the surface P = 100/10 = 10
Therefore the pressure on the surface is 10 N/cm².
(i.) Therefore the Thrust is 100 N.
(ii.) Therefore the pressure on the surface is 10 N/cm².
