Question

What is the pressure applied on the bottom surface of the stone . If the force applied by the stone on the surface is 50 N and the surface area is 100 square centimeter .​

Answer 1

Understanding the question: This question says that the force applied by the stone on the surface is 50 Newton and the surface area is 100 centimetres sq. We have to find out the pressure applied on the bottom surface of the stone.

Provided that:

• Force = 50 Newton
• Area = 100 centimetres sq.

To find:

• Pressure

Solution:

• Pressure = 5000 Pascal

Using concepts:

• Formula of pressure
• Formula to convert cm into m

Using formulas:

• Pressure = Force/Area
• 1 cm = 1/100 metres

Full Solution:

~ Firstly let us concept centimetes sq. into metres sq.

→ 1 cm = 1/100 metres

→ 1 cm² = 1/100² metres²

→ 1 cm² = 1/10000 metres²

→ 100 cm² = 100/10000 metres²

→ 100 cm² = 1/100 metres²

→ 100 cm² = 0.01 metres²

~ Now let us find out the pressure applied by using suitable formula.

→ Pressure = Force/Area

→ Pressure = 50/0.01

→ Pressure = 5000/1

→ Pressure = 5000 Pascal $\:$
