Question

A man exerts a pressure of 14Pa by applying a force of 70N on a box. Calculate the area over which the force is applied.

Answer 1

the area will be 5sq

Answer 2

Answer:Area=3m2

Explanation:Pressure (P) = 14 Pa

Force (F)= 42 N

Area (A)= ?

Now, we have,

Force (F)

Pressure (P)=

Area (A)

Force (F) 42

Or, Area= = __

Pressure (F) 14

Area= 3 m2

So, the pressure is applied on 3m2 area.
