Question

A pressure of 15 kilpascal acts on an area of 0.5m².the force acting on the area will be?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• 7500 N is the required Force.

Explanation:

Given:-

• Pressure ,P = 15 KiloPascal = 15×1000 = 15000Pa

• Area , A = 0.5m²

To Find:-

• Force ,F

Solution:-

As we have to calculate the force acting on the given area .

Pressure of a body can be calculated by the force acting per unit area.

• P = F/A

where,

• P denote Pressure
• F denote Force
• A denote Area

Substitute the value we get

→ 15000 = F/0.5

→ F = 15000 × 0.5

→ F = 1500 × 5

→ F = 7500 N

• Hence, the force acting on the area is 7500 newton.

Answer 2

Answer:

7500 Newton.

Explanation:

Given:

• Pressure (P) = 15 kilopascal
• Area (a) = 0.5 m²

To find:

• Force (F) = ?

Solution:

We are given with the pressure acted on an are of 0.5 m² that is 15 kilopascal (kPa).

1 kPa = 1000 Pa

Thus, 15 kPa = 15,000 Pa

We remember that, $\sf{Pressure\:=\:\dfrac{Force}{Area}.}$

So, Force = pressure × area.

$\:$

⇒ F = 15000 × 0.5

$\:$

⇒ F = 15000 × $\dfrac{5}{10}$

$\:$

⇒ F = 1500 × 5

$\:$

$\small\implies\underline{\boxed{\sf\purple{Force\:=\:7500\:N}}}$
