Question

Calculate the pressure when force of 200 N is exerted on an area of
(i) 10 m^2 (ii) 5 m ^2

Answer 1

when area is 10m² then pressure will be 20pa and when area is 5m² then pressure will be 40pa

Answer 2

(i) pressure= force/area
200N/10m^2
20N/m^2 or 20 Pa

(ii) pressure= force/area
200N/5m^2
40N/m^2 or 40 Pa
