Question

Now try this
1. Calculate the pressure if a force of 20 N is applied on an area of 40 cm?.​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5N/cm2

Explanation:

pressure=force/area

Answer 2

Answer:

0.5 N/cm²

Explanation:

Given:

• force applied on the surface = 20 Newtons
• Surface area on which the force is applied = 40 cm²

To find:

• Pressure applied on the surface with an area of 40 cm² and force of 20 newtons

Formula:

Pressure = Force/area

Pressure = 20/40

Pressure = 0.5 N/cm²

The pressure acting on the surface with a force of 20 newtons and a surface area of 40 cm² is equal to 0.5 N/cm²
