Question

If a force of 500N is applied over an area of 10m2 the pressure is _____

Answer 1

Answer :-

Given :-

• Force = 500 N
• Area = 10 m²

To find :-

• Pressure - P

Formula used :-

$\boxed{\sf Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}}$

Solution :-

• F = 500 N
• A = 10 m²

Substituting the value in formula :-

$\sf P = \frac{F}{A}$

$\sf P = \frac{50 \cancel 0}{1 \cancel 0}$

$\sf P = 50 Pa$

Pressure = 50 Pascal

Answer 2

Given :-

• Force Applied (F) = 500 N
• Area (a) = 10 m²

To Find :-

• Pressure (P)

SoluTion

Formula Used :-

• Pressure = Force/Area

Subsituting Values

→ P = 500/10

→ P = 50

Thus, the pressure applied is 50 Pa

Additional Information :-

• The SI unit of Force is Newton(N) and is denoted by F
• The SI unit of area is metre square(m²) and is denoted by a
• The SI Unit of Pressure is Pascal(Pa) and is denoted by O
