Question

Calculate the pressure when a force of 200 N is exerted on an area of:-
(a) 10 m²
(b) 5 m²​

Answer 1

10m^2

P=200/10

=20Pa

5m^2

P=200/5

=40Pa

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 20pa   b)40pa

Explanation:

pressure = (force)/(area)

a)

force = 200N

area = 10m²

⇒ pressure = 200/10 = 20pa

b)

force = 200N

area = 5m²

⇒ pressure = 200/5 = 40pa
