Question

Calculate the pressure produced when a force of 25 N is applied over an area of 20 mm2.

Answer 1

Hi,

Here is your answer

Given:

Force=25 N

Area=20mm²=0.00002m²

To find:

Pressure

Solution:

Pressure=Force/Area

Pressure=25/0.00002

Pressure=1250000 Pa

Notes:

1. Remember to convert all the given datas to the SI units before calculating.

2. Pressure is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to area.

3. The unit of pressure is Pascal(Pa) or N/m²

Hope this helps you.
