Question

The weight of a wooden block is 5000 N and its base area is 100
cm2. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure =  500000 pascal

Explanation:

first let's convert cm² to m²

1cm² = 1/10000 m²

so,

100cm² = 100/10000 m²

            = 0.01 m²

force = 5000 N ( weight is the force acting on an object)

area = 0.01 m ²

pressure = force / area

               = 5000/0.01

               = 500000 pascal

I hope this will help you out :)
