Question

(c) A force of 100 N is applied to an object of area 2m . Calculate
the pressure.

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure= force / area

100/2

50 n/m is the answer

Answer 2

Given:

• Force (f) = 100 N
• Area (a) = 2 m²

To Find:

• Calculate the Pressure?

Formula Used:

$\\ \bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\sf\green{ Pressure = \dfrac{Force}{Area} }}}}$

Solution:

Pressure is the force acting perpendicularly on a unit area of the object.

After substituting the values;

➣ P = 100/2

➣ P = 50 N/m²

Hence,

The Pressure is 50 N/m² or 50 Pascals.

Remarks:

• P = Pressure
• A = Area
• SI unit of Pressure is Pascal or N/m².
