Question

Calculate the pressure, if a force of 50N acts on an area of 50cm square

Answer 1

P=F/A now pressure has a unit Pa which is nothing but N/m² so convert the area into m² which will be 0.00005 m² now use force and this area to get the answer

Answer 2

Given:

Force = 50 N

Area = 50 $cm{2}$ = 0.005 $m^{2}$

To Find:

Pressure (P)

Solution:

Pressure is defined as force per unit area.

The S.I Unit of pressure is N/$m^{2}$.

So, from the above data and using the formulae, of pressure P=$\frac{F}{A}$

Where,

P is pressure

F is Force

A is Area

Now, putting the given values of force and area in its S.I unit  in the above equation.

we get,

P =$\frac{50}{0.005}$

P = 10,000N/$m^{2}$

Hence, the pressure is 10,000N/$m^{2}$
