Answer 1

pressure =800/2
=400

Answer 2

QUESTION --- calculate the pressure when a force of 800 N and exerted on an area of 2.0 cm

ANSWER
___________________________

Pressure is defined as Amount of force exerted per unit area. Its SI unit is Pascal (Pa)

It is given by formula :

Pressure = Force ÷ Area
_____________________________

ACCORDING TO QUESTION,
Force = 800 N
Area = 2 cm OR 1/50 m
◆Area should be in SI unit to get the pressure in SI unit◆

Pressure = 800 ÷ 1/50

Pressure = 800 × 50

Pressure = 40000 Pa
