Question

Determine the pressure when a force of 700N acts on area 14 m2

Answer 1

Answer:

50 Pascals

Explanation:

Given:

• Force acting on the object = F = 700 Newtons
• Surface area of the object = A = 14 m²

To find:

• Pressure acting on the object = P

Formula :

Pressure = Force/Area

The pressure acting on an object is the force per a unit area

Pressure = 700/14

Pressure = 50 N/m²

1 N/m² is equal to 1 Pascal

Hence the pressure acting on the object is equal to 50 Pascals

Answer 2

Answer:

We can define pressure as force acting per unit area.

P = F/A

We have,

F = 700N

A = 14m^2

on putting these values to the formula of pressure, we get

P= 700/14

P = 50 Pascal's

Hence, value of pressure is 50 Pascal.
