Question

If two force in ratio 5:9 act on two areas in the ratio 10:3,find the ratio of pressure exerted

Answer 1

then the pressure ratio=5/10:9/3=1/2:3
its the answer

Answer 2

Ratio of pressure exerted will be - 0.5:3.

• Pressure is physical force exerted over an object.

• Force exerted is perpendicular to the objects' surface.

• Force exerted is calculated in terms of per unit area.

P1:P2 = F1/A1:F2/A2

Given values are

Force 1 F1 = 5

Force 2 F2 = 9

Area 1 A1 = 10

Area 2 A2 = 3

Pressure 1 : pressure 2

P1:P2 = 5:9/10:3

P1:P2 = 1/2/3

P1:P2 =0.5/3

Therefore, answer is 0.5/3.
