Question

Calculate the pressure produced by a force of 400 N acting on an area of 4 cm2 .

Answer 1

Answer:

To Find :

• We need to find pressure

Given :

• Force = 400N
• Area = 40cm²

Solution :

We know that,

$Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}$

Converting 40cm² into meter²  

• 1cm = 1/100m

• 4cm = 4/100

• 4cm = 0.04m

So,  

• Force = 400N

• Area = 0.04m

➝ pressure = 400/0.04  

➝ pressure = 10000N/m²  

hence,  

The pressure produced by a force of 400n and acting on an area of 4cm² is 10000N/m²
