Question

A solid object weight 200 Newton when placed on a wooden plank area of contact 5m2 find the pressure against by solid object

Answer 1

Force=200N

Area of application of force = 5 m2

We know  pressure=$\frac{Force}{area of application of force}$

Therefore Pressure=200/5=40N/m2=40 Pa

Hope this helps : )

Answer 2

$\large {\green {\sf {\underline {\underline {Step-by-step \: Explanation}}}:-}}$

Here, Force (F) = 200 N

Area (A) = 5m²

$We \: know, \: pressure \: (P) = \frac{Force \: (F)}{Area \: (A)} \\ \\ So, \: P = \frac{200 \: N }{5 \: \: {m}^{2} } \\ \\ = 40 \: N/ {m}^{2} or \: 40 \: Pa$

Thus, the pressure of 40 newton per square metre or 40 pascals is exerted by the solid body on the wooden plank.
