Answer:
Area = 10 m^2
Explanation:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Area = Force ÷ Pressure
Force = 2 kN = 2000 N
Pressure = 200 N/m^2
Area = F/P = 2000/200 = 10 m^2

Answer:
The area over which the force of 2 kN is applied to obtain a pressure of 200 N/m² is 10 m².
Explanation:
The pressure experienced over a particular area, P = 200 N/m²
The force applied to obtain this value of pressure, F = 2 kN. We should convert this value of force into Newton, which is the standard unit of force.
∴ F = 2 kN = 2 × 1000 = 2000N
If A is the area, then the equation of pressure is given by,
P = F /A
⇒ A = F / P
= 2000 / 200
∴ A = 10 m²
