Question

Calculate the pressure acting on a body when a force of 20 N is exerted on an
area of 10cm2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

pressure =force/area

pressure=20/10=2 pascal

Answer 2

Given :-

• A force of 20 N is exerted on an area of 10cm²

To find :-

• Pressure acting on a body

Solution :-

• Force exerted on the body = 20 N

• Area where the force exerted=10cm²

→ 1m² = 10000cm²

→ Area = 10/10000

→ Area = 0.001 m²

As we know that

→ Pressure = F/A

Where " F " is force and " A " is area

Now, according to question

→ Pressure = F/A

Put the value of force and area

→ Pressure = 20/0.001

→ Pressure = 20,000Pa

Hence,

• Pressure acting on a body is 20,000Pa

Note :-

• S.I unit of area is m²
