Question

The mass of a rectangular block is 5 N. Its length is 10 cm and breadth is 5 cm. Calculate pressure on its base. plz no direct answers :):)

Answer 1

m= force* area
Area= 10*15= 150
force= mass/area
f= 5000/150
= 33.33

Answer 2

Since, P = F/A
    force,F = 5N
    area,A = Area of rectangular block = l x b = 10 x 5 = 50cm²
Now, 
Pressure ,P = 5/50
                    = 1/10
                   =  0.1 N/cm²
∴ PRESSURE = 0.1 N/cm² or 0.1 Pascals
