Question

what is the magnitude of force if a pressure of 25,000 pa acts on a surface area of 0.50cm2 ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

pressure is the force acting on a surface area

so, P =F/A => F =PxA = 25000x 0.0005

u will get F = 12.5 N

Answer 2

★ Given :

• Pressure = 25,000 pascal
• Surface area = 0.050 cm².

★ To Find :

We have to find the magnitude of force acts on the object.

★ Explanation :

As, we are given pressure and surface area and we have to calculate the force. So, we know the relation between pressure, force and area or formula of pressure, force and area.

$\large{\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{Pressure = \dfrac{Force}{Area} }}}}}$

Putting Values

$\sf{\dashrightarrow 25000 = \dfrac{Force}{0.50}} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow Force = 25000 \times 0.50} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow Force = 25000 \times \dfrac{50}{100}} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow Force = \dfrac{12,50,000}{100}} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow Force = 12,500} \\ \\ \Large{\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{Force = 12,500 \: N}}}}}$

So, magnitude of force acts on the object is 12,500 N.
