Question

calculate area , when the pressure produced by a force of 800 N is 2 Ps

Answer 1

Answer:

given

f=800N

P=2Ps

we know

P=F/A

800=2/A

400=A

Answer 2

Given :

• pressure produced , P = 2 Pascal
• force applied , F = 800 N

To find :

• Area at which force is applied , A = ?

Formula used :

Pressure is defined as Force applied per unit area.

• P = F / A

[ where P is pressure , F is force and A is area ]

Calculation :

Using formula

→ P = F / A

→ 2 = 800 / A

→ A = 800 / 2

→ A = 400 m²

therefore,

Area on which force is applied is 400 square metres.

_____________________________

• Pressure is a scalar quantity.
• S.I. unit of pressure is Pascal .
• 1 Pascal = 1 N m⁻²
• Dimensions of Pressure are M L⁻¹ T⁻²
