Answer:
- The pressure (P) exerted by the Force is 40 N /m².
Given:
- Force Exerted (F) = 200 N.
- Area (A) = 5 m²
Explanation:
______________________
Pressure:
Pressure is defined as Force per unit Area. Provided that force is acting perpendicularly over the surface.
Expression:
- P = F / A
Units:
- S.I unit = Pascals (or) N / m²
- C.G.S unit = dyne / cm²
Dimensional Formula:
- M L⁻¹ T⁻²

From the Formula we know,
⇒ P = F / A
Where,
- P denotes Pressure.
- F denotes Force.
- A denotes Area.
Now,
⇒ P = F / A
Substituting the values,
⇒ P = 200 N / 5 m²
⇒ P = 200 / 5
⇒ P = 40
⇒ P = 40 N /m².
∴ The pressure (P) exerted by the Force is 40 N /m².
