Question

A pressure of 150 Pa acts on an area of 15 m2. What is the force acting on the area? What force will be exerted by the application of same pressure if the area is made one-fifth?

Answer 1

Answer:

Force in the first case=2250N

Force in second case=450N

Explanation:

Case-1-

Pressure=Force/Area

Force=Pressure×Area

Force=150×15=2250N

Case-2-

New area=15/5=3m^2

Force=150×3=450N
