Question

If a force of 50 N is applied on a square table whose one side is 50cm. Find the pressure exerted on the table.

Answer 1

Area of the square table = 50×50cm^2 = 2500cm^2 Pressure = force/area = 50* 10000/2500 ( 1m^2 = 10000cm^2) = 200 pascals

Answer 2

Area = 50×50=2500
Force = 50N
Pressure=Force/Area
=50/2500=0.02Pa
