Question

force of 10 N acts on an area of 25 cm2. What is the magnitude of pressure in pascal?​

Answer 1

Given:-

☆Force=10N

☆Contact Area=25cm²

To find:-

☆Pressure

Solution:-

In order to find the pressure in pascal i.e.N/m²,we must convert the contact area from cm² to m².

=>1cm²=0.0001m²

=>25cm²=0.0001×25

=>0.0025m²

Now,we know that:-

=>Pressure=Force/Contact Area

=>10/0.0025

=>4000 Pa

Thus,magnitude of pressure is 4000 Pa.
