Question

Calculate the pressure produced by a force of 800 N acting on an area of 2.0 m2.

Answer 1

Hey Pretty Stranger!

Force = 800 N

Area = 2 m²

We know that Pressure is defined as Force per unit area.

Hence,

$\bigstar \: \large\boxed{ \sf \: Pressure = \dfrac{Force}{Area} }$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: Pressure = \cancel\dfrac{800}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: Pressure = 400 \: pascal$

$\therefore$ 400 Pascal of pressure is produced by a force of 800 N acting on an area of 2 m²

Answer 2

$\large\underline{\underline{Question:}}$

Calculate the pressure produced by a force of $800 N$ acting on an area of $2.0 m^{2}$

ok

$\large\underline{\underline{Given:}}$

• $Force = 800 N$
• $Area = 2.0 m^{2}$

$\large\underline{\underline{We Know:}}$

$pressure = p = \dfrac{thrust}{Area}$

$\large\underline{\underline{Solution:}}$

$\Rightarrow pressure = p = \dfrac{800}{2.0}P$

$\Rightarrow pressure = p = \dfrac{8000}{20}P$

$\Rightarrow pressure = p = 400 P$

${\boxed{\therefore Pressure = 400 P}}$
