Question

Q. A force of 100 N is acting on a box of length 50cm and breadth 30cm. Calculate the pressure.

Answer 1

Explanation:

pressure = force/area

calculate the area of each side and then find the force on each side after that add the pressure you will get pressure on a box

Answer 2

GIVEN :-

• Force (F) = 100 N
• Length of box (AB) = 50 cm
• Breadth of box (BC) = 30 cm

TO FIND :-

• The pressure = ?

SOLUTION :-

▪︎ As we know that,

$\implies \huge \bf pressure \: (P) \: = \frac{thrust}{area}$

▪︎Area of box = length × breadth

= 0.3 m × 0.5 m

= 0.15 m²

▪︎pressure = Thrust/Area

= 100 N/0.15m²

= 666.67 N/m²

= 666.67 Pascal

Hence the pressure is 666.67 Pascal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :-

$\boxed{ \begin{minipage}{4cm} \\ \large{ \tt \bf{P \propto F }} \\ \\ \large{ \bf{P \propto \dfrac{1}{A} }} \\ \\ \large{ \bf{pressure = \dfrac{F}{A} }} \end{minipage}}$
