Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by an object of mass 40kg on a surface of area 200 cm2
​

Answer 1

Calculate the pressure exerted by an object of mass 40kg on a surface of area 200 cm2

Answer 2

Given :

Mass of Object = 40 kg

Weight the Object = 40 N

Area = 200 cm²

= 0.002 m²

To Calculate :

Pressure exerted by the Object

Formula Used :

$pressure (p)\: = \: \frac{thrust(f)}{area(a)} \\ \:$

Procedure :

$\: = \: \frac{40}{0.002} \\ \\ = \frac{40 \times 1000}{0.002 \times 1000 } \\ \\ = \frac{40000}{2} \\ \\ = 20000$

Pressure = 20000 Pa
