Question

A solid body weighs 400N.Calculate the pressure exerted by the solid on a surface, if the area of contact is 40m2 . A solid body weighs 400N.Calculate the pressure exerted by the solid on a surface, if the area of contact is 40m2 . please reply fast.

Answer 1

Answer:

10 pascal.

Explanation:

We know,

Pressure exerted = Force acting / Area of cross section.

Therefore,

$= \frac{400}{40} \\ = 10 \: n {m}^{ - 2}$

Answer 2

Answer: 10 pascal

Explanation: we know that the the force applied is weight of the object/ by the area of contact.

the weight of the object is 400n

the area of contact is 40m2

so 400/40 is 10

therefore The force exerted is 10 pascal.

Hope it's correct
