Hello!
The definition of a pressure is a force over an area, or more precisely the quotient of a force acting perpendicularly to a flat surface, to the area of that surface:
P = F/A.
The unit of a pressure is Newton divided by meter squared, It is called Pascal and is denoted as Pa. So it is simple to find an area when the pressure in Pa and the force in N are 9given:
A = F/P.
In our case it is equal to 100 N / 500 Pa = 0.2 m2 ...
This is the answer.
