Question

the base of a container measures 15cm * 20cm. if the weight of the container is 60N, calculate pressure exerted

Answer 1

$\\ l = 15cm \\ \\ b = 20cm \\ \\ Surface \: Area = l \times b \\ \\ Area = 15 \times 20 \\ \\ Area = 300{cm}^{2} \: or \: 0.03 {m}^{2} \\ \\ F = 60N \: \: \: \: (given) \\ \\ Pressure = \frac {Force}{Area} \\ \\ Pressure = \frac {60}{0.03} \\ \\ Pressure = 2000 \: Pascal$
