Question

calculate the pressure exerted when 16000N is applied on a 0.04cm² area​

Answer 1

Given ,

Force (F) = 16000 N

Area = 0.04 cm² or 4 × (10)^(-6) m²

We know that ,

Pressure is defined as force per unit area

$\boxed{ \sf{Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area} }}$

Thus ,

Pressure = 16000/4 × (10)^(-6)

Pressure = 4 × (10)^(9) N/m

Therefore ,

• The pressure is 4 × (10)^(9) N/m

Answer 2

Explanation:

pressur = force /area p=16000/0.04
