Question

If a force of 10 N is exerted on an area of 500 square centimetre, the
magnitude of the pressure will be​

Answer 1

Answer:

According To question

Force = 10N

Area = 500cm^2 = 500 × 10^-4 = 5 × 10^-2

Pressure = Force/Area

Pressure = 10/5 × 10^-2

pressure = 2 × 10^-2

Thanks

Answer 2

Answer:

The Correct Answer is 2×10² Pa. This means, if a force of 10 N is exerted on an area of 500 cm², the magnitude of exerted pressure will be 2×10² Pa.

Explanation:

Given: The applied force is 10 N and the area being 500 cm² .

To find: The magnitude of pressure applied.

Now, The force applied is 10 N.

Area being 500 cm². But as it is not in it's S.I. unit system, we will first change it into it's S.I. unit. We know that:

1 cm = 10⁻² m

Hence, 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²

And therefore, 500 cm² = 500×10⁻⁴ m²

                                        = 5×10⁻² m²

Now, we know that Pressure = Force applied ÷ Area

Therefore,

Pressure = 10 ÷ 5×10⁻²

               = 2×10² Pa

Hence, the correct answer is 2×10² Pa.
