Question

A wooden plank weighing 50N is exerting a certain amount of pressure on the land area of 10 meter square. Calculate the pressure exerted on that area.

Answer 1

Hello Mate,

Here is your answer,

We Know,

$pressure = \frac{force}{area}$

Given:

Force applied = 50N

Area of land = $10 {m}^{2}$

So,

$pressure = \frac{50}{10} \\ \\ = 5 \: pascals$

Hope it helps:)
