Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by a box weighing 50 N having an area of 25 cm2 .​

Answer 1

Answer:

2N/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

A box weighing 50N whose area is 25cm².

Calculate the pressure.

Formula:

Pressure = Force/Area

Where,

• Force = 50N
• Area = 25cm²

Substituting the values,

= Force/Area

= 50/25

= 2N/cm²

∴ Pressure exerted by the box is 2N/m²

_____________________

Formula used :

Pressure = Force/Area.

Units :

• Force = N (Newton)
• Area = m² / cm²
• Pressure = N/cm² or, N/m² (Pascal)

Answer 2

Answer:

given data

we will convert 2.5cm sq metre

square=0.00025

force=500 n

area=0.00025m

pressure is given as;

P=F/A

=500 n/0.00025m

P=2×10^6Pa
