Question

Formula to find Area when pressure and force is given

Answer 1

Answer:

Calculating force and area using the pressure equation

• First convert 150 kPa to Pa

• 150 × 1,000 = 150,000

• Next substitute the values into the equation

• force normal to a surface area = pressure × area of that surface.

• force = 150,000 × 180

• force = 27,000,000 N.

Answer 2

Answer:

Pressure = Force / Area

So,

Area = Force / Pressure
