What is the force required to produce a pressure of 36000pa on an area of 400cm square
Answers
Answer:
p = F/A
F = pA
F = 36000×4
F = 144000 N
Given:
✰ Pressure ( P ) = 36000 Pa
✰ Area ( A ) = 400 cm
To find:
✠ The force required to produce a pressure.
Solution:
Before solving the particular problem or numerical, let's first go through common terms that can be used here!
Pressure:
➛ The normal force acting per unit area on a surface is called pressure.
If is the normal force (F) that is acting on the normal surface area (A), then the pressure exerted on the surface area is given by:
✭ Pressure = Force/Surface Area ✭
We conclude:
- Pressure is directly proportional to thrust or force.
- For a given thrust the pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area of the object in contact.
Let's first convert area into m because while doing calculations, the nature of the units should be same else we will get wrong answer.
⇾1 cm² = 1/(100 × 100) m²
⇾1 cm² = 1/10000 m²
⇾400 cm² = 400/10000 m²
⇾4/100 m²
⇾0.04 m²
Now,
➥ P = F/A
➥ F = P × A
➥ F = 36000 × 0.04
➥ F = 1440 N
∴ The force required to produce a pressure = 1440 N
