Question

calculate the pressure if a force of 100 n acts on an area of 10 m square

Answer 1

Pressure = force/ area
Force= 100n
area= 10m^2
: Pressure : 100/10
= 10 pascals

Answer 2

Given,

A force of 100 n acts on an area of 10 m square.

To Find,

The pressure =?

Solution,

We can find the pressure as follows:

It is given to us that a force of 100 N acts on an area of 10 m square. We have to find the pressure.

Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force applied to the per unit area surface of an object. It is given as force applied divided by the surface area of the object.

$Pressure, P = \frac{Force}{Area}$

Here, $Force = 100 N$

          $Area = 10 m^{2}$

Substituting the values in the above formula,

$P = \frac{100}{10}$

$P = 10\: Pa\: or\: N/m^{2}$

Hence, the pressure is equal to 10 Pa.
