Question

Calculate the pressure produced by a force of 1800 N acting on an area of 200 cm2.

Step wise step

Answer 1

Thus the pressure on the area is  90 KPascal.

Explanation:

When a force of 1 N acts on an area of 1 m^2 that is called pressure. The S.I unit of pressure is Pascal.

Pressure = Force / Area

We are given that:

• Area = 200 cm^2 = 200 × 10^-4 = 0.02 m^2
• Force = 1800 N

Solution:

Pressure = 1800 / 0.02 Pascal

Pressure = 90000 Pascal

Pressure "P" = 90 KPascal

Thus the pressure on the area is  90 KPascal.
