Answers
♣ Question :
If a force of 2N is applied on an area of 2 square millimeter. what is the pressure produced?
♣ Answer :
Pressure = Force/Area
Here, the Force is of 2N whereas the area is 2mm²
Hence, Pressure = 2N/2mm² = N/mm²
Pressure = N/0.000001m²
= N/1/1000000m²
= 1000000N/m²
= 1000000 Pa
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN:
FORCE OF 2 N APPLIED ON AN AREA OF 2 SQUARE MM.
TO FIND:
PRESSURE PRODUCED.
CONCEPT:
PRESSURE IS FORCE APPLIED PER UNIT AREA
WE WRITE THIS MATHEMATICALLY AS:
P=F/A
WHERE;
●P=PRESSURE
●F=FORCE APPLIED
●A=AREA ON WHICH FORCE APPLIED.
S.I UNITS:
•PRESSURE =Pa(PASCAL) OR N/M^2
•FORCE=NEWTON (N)
•AREA=M^2
ALGORITHM TO DO THIS:
STEP 1. FIRST CONVERT MM^2 TO M^2 BY MULTIPLYING
1/1000 TO IT.
STEP 2. THEN AT LAST DIVIDE FORCE UPON AREA TO GET PRESSURE PRODUCED.
SOLUTION:
CONVERTING MM^2 TO M^2 :
GIVEN AREA =2 MM^2 = 2×1/1000=0.002 M^2
NOW PRESSURE PRODUCED:
=P=F/A
=P=2/0.002 =2×1000/2=1000 Pa or N/M^2
☆HENCE PRESSURE PRODUCED IS 1000 Pa.
