Question

An object exerts a force F on a surface of surface area A. The pressure P acting on the surface is given by (a) P = F/A (b) P = A/F (c) P=FA (d) P = F/A2

Answer 1

Pressure=force/area.The pressure acting on the body is p=f/a

Answer 2

The pressure  acting on the surface is given by P = F/A.

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the force per unit area.

The force applied is perpendicular to the surface of objects per unit area.

Mathematically written as

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

Here, P is the pressure, F is the force and A is the area.

Pressure is scalar quality and its unit is pa (pascal).

Thus, the pressure  acting on the surface is given by P = F/A.
