Question

A nail can Pierce through a surface if a pressure of 25000 Pa acts at the pointed
end .The area of the surface of contact is 0.02 cm 2.
Find the force required to be applied on the broader end.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

$pressure = \frac{force}{area}$

$25000 = \frac{force}{0.02}$

$force = 25000 \times 0.02 = 500 \: n$

Therefore , the force required = 500 N.
