Question

what is the magnitude of force required in Newtons to produce a pressure of 24000pa on an area of 150 square meter
​

Answer 1

Pressure to be created = 24000 Pa

Area = 150 m²

Let the force be = F

We know,

P = F/A

⇒ F = PA

⇒ F = (24000 N/m²)(150 m²)

⇒ F = 3600000 N

⇒ F = 3600 kN or 3.6 × 10³ kN.

Therefore, magnitude of force required is 3.6 × 10³ kN.
