Question

If 5 Pa pressure is applied on a body of its 20 m2 area then the amount of force acting on the body will be

Answer 1

Answer:

100 Newtons

Explanation:

Given :

• Pressure acting on the surface = 5 Pascals

• Surface area of the object on which the pressure is applied = 20 m²

To find :

• The amount of force acting on the surface with surface area of 20 m² and with a pressure of 5 pascals

Formula :

Pressure = Force / Area

Force = Pressure × Area

Force = 5×20

Force = 100 Newtons

The force acting on the surface where the pressure is 5 Pascals and surface area is 20 m² is equal to 100 Newtons

More:

Pressure is nothing but the force acting upon a particular area

Answer 2

Given that ,

Pressure = 5 Pascal

Area = 20 m²

As we know that ,

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area

The SI unit of pressure is Pascal or N/m²

It is vector quantity

Thus ,

5 = Force/20

Force = 100 Newton

$\sf \therefore \underline{The \: force \: acting \: on \: a \: body \: is \: 100 \: N}$
