Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by a force of 300N acting on an area of 30 cm²

Answer 1

P = F/A = 300 / 0.3= 300/3/10= 300×10/3= 3000/3=1000 Pascal

Answer 2

Force = 300 N
area = 30 cm² = 0.3 m²
pressure = Force / area
                =  300/ 0.3
                  =   3000/3
               = 1000 Pa
