Question

Calculate the force applied (in newtons) if a pressure of 10Pa is acting on an area of 0.5m2.

Answer 1

The applied force is 5 N.

Explanation:

Pressure, P = 10 Pa

Area, $A=0.5\ m^2$

It is required to find pressure. It is equal to the force acting per unit area. The formula of pressure is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\F=P\times A\\\\F=10\ Pa\times 0.5\ m^2\\\\F=5\ N$

So, the force applied is 5 N.
