Question

The pressure placed on a square with 1/2 meter sides is 1000 Pascal. How much force is being applied to the square?

Answer 1

Answer:

250 newton is the required answer.

Explanation:

Given:-

• Side of square ,s = 1/2m
• Pressure on square ,P = 1000 Pa

To Find:-

• Force applied ,F

Solution:-

According to the Question

It is given that pressure placed on a square with 1/2 meter sides is 1000 Pascal.

we have to calculate the force applied to the square.

Firstly we calculate the area of the square.

→ Area of Square = side × side

→ Area of Square = 1/2×1/2 m²

→ Area of Square = 1/4m²

→ Area of Square = 0.25m²

As we know the relationship between Force , Pressure & Area .

• Pressure = Force/Area

Substitute the value we get

→ 1000 = Force/0.25

→ Force = 1000×0.25

→ Force = 250 N

• Hence, the required force is being applied to the square is 250 newton.

Answer 2

Answer:-

• Side of the square=1/2m=50cm

Area=

$\boxed{\sf (side)^2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (50)^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2500cm^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.25m^2$

• Pressure=1000Pa

We know that

$\boxed{\sf Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=Pressure\times Area$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=1000\times 0.25$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=250N$

Therefore

250Newton force will be applied to the square.
