Question

A pressure of 1000 Pa, acts on a surface of area 15 cm2 by a block of mass ‘m’. Calculate ‘m’. Calculate the new pressure exerted by the same block if the area of
contact with the surface becomes 10 cm2.

Answer 1

Pressure = 1000 Pa 
Area = 15 cm2
Pressure = ForceAreaForce = m×gm = 1000×159.8 = 1530.61 kg
