Question

Calculate the pressure in pascals if a 5N force is applied to an area of 0.2m².

Answer 1

Pressure= force/area

So, P= 5/0.2 N/m^2

P= 25 N/m^2 = 25 Pascal

Answer 2

Pressure, P = 25 pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the surface, F = 5 N

Area of the surface, $A=0.2\ m^2$

To find,

Pressure acting on the surface.

Solution,

The pressure acting on a surface is equal to the thrust acting per unit area. It is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{5\ N}{0.2\ m^2}$

$P=25\ Pa$

So, the pressure on the surface is $25\ Pa$.
