Question

A iron Box of weight 200N is kept on a table. The area of cross section of the box is 10m². Calculate the pressure exerted by the box on the table?​

Answer 1

Answer:

p = f/a

P = 200/10

p = 20pa

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• An iron box of weight 200 N is kept on a table.
• The area of cross section of the box is 10 m².

To Find :-

• What is the pressure exerted by the box on the table.

Formula Used :-

$\clubsuit$ Pressure Formula :

$\mapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{P = \dfrac{F}{A}}}}$

where,

• P = Pressure
• F = Force
• A = Area

Solution :-

Given :

• Force (F) = 200 N
• Area (A) = 10 m²

According to the question by using the formula we,

$\longrightarrow \bf P =\: \dfrac{F}{A}$

$\bigstar\: \: \bold{\purple{Pressure =\: \dfrac{Force}{Area}}}\: \: \bigstar$

$\longrightarrow \sf Pressure = \dfrac{20\cancel{0}}{1\cancel{0}}$

$\longrightarrow \sf Pressure =\: \dfrac{20}{1}$

$\longrightarrow \sf\bold{\red{Pressure = 20\: Pascals}}$

${\small{\bold{\underline{\therefore\: The\: pressure\: exerted\: by\: the\: box\: on\: the\: table\: is\: 20\: Pascals\: .}}}}$
