Question

Calculate the pressure exerted on a bodyof area 5 meter square , when a force 100 n applied on it

Answer 1

Answer:

$\bigstar{\bold{Pressure\:exerted\:by\:body\:=\:20\:Pa} }$

Explanation:

Given:

• Area of the body = 5m²
• Force exerted = 100 N

To Find:

• Pressure exerted by the body

Solution:

→ Pressure is given by the formula

  Pressure = Force/Area

→ Substituting the given datas, we get

  Pressure = 100/5

  $\boxed{\bold{Pressure\:exerted\:=\:20\:Pa} }$

Notes:

• Pressure is the force exerted per unit area. It's unit is Pascal(Pa) or Nm²
• Pressure = Force/Area
• Pressure is a scalar quantity, that is it has only magnitude and no direction.
