Question

a force of hundred newton is applied across the rectangular surface of length 200cm and width 100cm. the pressure applied by the force is ?

Answer 1

pressure = force/area = 100 newton / 2 m * 1 m = 100/2 = 50 P

Answer 2

F = 100N
L = 200cm =2m
B = 100cm= 1m
Area of rectangle = 2×1 = 2m^2
pressure = 100N/2m^2 = 50N/m^2
