Answer 2

Answer:

10 pascal.

Explanation:

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{Given:}}$

• Mass (m) = 2 kg
• Force (F) = 20 N
• Area (A) = 2 m²

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{To\:find:}}$

• Pressure = ?

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{Solution:}}$

We remember that $\blue{\sf{pressure\:=\:\dfrac{Force}{Area}}}$

$\:$

$\implies\:\sf{Pressure\:=\:\cancel{\dfrac{20}{2}}}$

$\:$

$\implies\:\sf{Pressure\:=\:10\:Pa}$

$\:$

Hence, pressure = 10 pascal or 10 N/m².
