Question

Find the pressure in kN/m2 exerted by a force of 75 kN on an area of 5 m2

Answer 1

$\LARGE{ \underline{ \orange{ \sf{Required \: answer:}}}}$

The above question is related to Force, area and pressure concept. We have to find the pressure exerted by a force and the area of the surface is also given.

Pressure is calculated by force (Thurst) applied on unit surface area.

$\because{\large{ \boxed{ \sf{P = \frac{F}{A}}}}}$

GiveN:

Force applied by the books = 75 kN

Area of contact = 5 m²

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

By using formula,

⇛ P = F / A

Plugging the given values,

⇛ P = 75 kN / 5 m²

⇛ P = 15 kN/ m²

So, the pressure exerted by the force on the given area:

$\therefore{ \LARGE{ \boxed{ \orange{ \bf{ 15 \: kN/{m}^{2}}}}}}$

And we are done !!

Answer 2

Answer:

The above question is related to Force, area and pressure concept. We have to find the pressure exerted by a force and the area of the surface is also given.

Pressure is calculated by force (Thurst) applied on unit surface area.

P=

A

F

GiveN:

Force applied by the books = 75 kN

Area of contact = 5 m²

By using formula,

⇛ P = F / A

Plugging the given values,

⇛ P = 75 kN / 5 m²

⇛ P = 15 kN/ m²

So, the pressure exerted by the force on the given area

15kN/m
