Question

calculate the pressure exerted on a surface of 0.5m^2 by a thrust of 100kgf

Answer 1

Answer:200 Pascals

Explanation:

Given:

Area = 0.5 m^2

Thrust = 100 kgf

To Find:

Pressure that is been exerted

Calculating:

For Calculating pressure we use the formula:

Pressure = Thrust / Area

Substituting the values given to us in this formula we get:

= 100 / 0.5

Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10 to remove decimal point in 0.5:

= 100 x 10 / 0.5 x 10

= 1000 / 5

= 200 Pa

Therefore, the pressure exerted on a surface of 0.5 m^2 by a thrust of 100 kgf is 200 Pascals.

The SI unit of Pressure is Pascal and short form to write Pascal is (Pa)

It can also be written as Newton/m^2
