Question

Calculate the
pressure exerted by a force of 120 M
acting on an area of 3 meter square

Answer 1

Correct Question :-

• A force of 120 N acting on an area of 3 meter square

To find :-

• Pressure exerted

Solution :-

• Force = 120N

• Area = 3m²

As we know that

→ Pressure = F/A

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

According to the question

→ Pressure = Force/Area

Put the value of F and A

→ Pressure = 120/3

→ Pressure = 40 Pa

Hence,

• Pressure exerted is 40 Pa

Extra Information :-

• S.I unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa)

• S.I unit of Force is Newton (N)

• S.I unit of area is m²

• 1m² = 10000cm²

Answer 2

☯️ Given :-

• Force acted = 120 Newton.

• Area = 3m².

☯️ To Find :-

• Pressure Exerted.

☯️ Solution :-

We know that,

Force = Pressure × Area.

Now, We Can Say,

Pressure = Force/Area.

Substituting their values,

➝ Pressure = 120/3.

➝ Pressure = 40 Pa.

Hence, Pressure Exerted = 40 Pa.
