Answer 2

Given:

The pressure exerted by the force of 20 N

Area = 100cm²

To Find:

The pressure

Solution:

The formula to calculate the pressure is force divided by the area i.e., Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

The values of force and area are given as 20N and 100cm² respectively. So,

Pressure = $\frac{20}{100}$

We need to convert the units into common units. The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa) which is 1 newton per square meter i.e., 1N/m².

20N/100cm²× 10000cm²

2000Pa

Now,

Pressure = 20/0.01

               = 2000Pa

Therefore, the pressure exerted by a force of 20N acting on an area of 100cm² is 2000Pa.
