Question

Calculate the pressure produced by a force of 200newton acting on an area of 2.0msq.

Answer 1

Provided that:

• Force = 200 N
• Area = 2 m sq.

To calculate:

• The pressure

Solution:

• The pressure = 100 Pascal

Using concept:

• Pressure formula

Using formula:

• ${\sf{Pressure \: = \dfrac{Force}{Area}}}$

Knowledge required:

• SI unit of pressure = Pascal(Pa)
• SI unit of force = Newton(N)
• SI unit of area = Metre(m)

Required solution:

$:\implies \sf Pressure \: = \dfrac{Force}{Area} \\ \\ :\implies \sf Pressure \: = \dfrac{200}{2} \\ \\ :\implies \sf Pressure \: = \cancel{\dfrac{200}{2}} \\ \\ :\implies \sf Pressure \: = 100 \: Pa \\ \\ {\underline{\boxed{\pmb{\mathcal{P} \sf ressure \: = \sf{100 \: Pascal}}}}} \: \bigstar$

Answer 2

Answer:-

• Force=200N
• Area=2m^2

We know that

$\boxed{\sf Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{200N}{2m^2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=100N/m^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=100Pa$

Note

SI unit of pressure is Pascal(Pa)
