Question

Calculate the pressure if a Force of 23 is applied over an area of 46 sq.m.

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure =force ÷

Explanation:

area

=23÷46

=0.5 N/m2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\bigstar{\bold{Pressure=5000\:Pa}}$

Explanation:

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Given:}}}}$

• Force applied = 23 N
• Area = 46 cm² = 0.0046 m²

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{To\:Find:}}}}$

• Pressure exerted

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Solution:}}}}$

→ Pressure exerted is given by thhe formula

  Pressure = Force/ Area

→ By substituting the given datas we get,

   Pressure = 23/0.0046

   Pressure = 5000 Pa

$\boxed{\bold{Pressure=5000\:Pa}}$

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Notes:}}}}$

→ Pressure is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to area.

→ The S.I unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).

→ Pressure is a scalar quantity. That is it has only magnitude and no direction.
