Question

What will be the area of a body which experiences a pressure of 6000 Pa by a force of 120 N?Find the area. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

PRESSURE = Force /Area

Explanation:

6000= 120/Area

Area = 120/6000

Area = .02 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

• The area is 0.02m²

Explanation:

Given that,

A body exerts a pressure of 6,000 p. a. or, N/m² with a force of 120N.

Here, the force and the pressure is given, we need to find the area on which the pressure is exerted.

Since, Pressure = $\sf \frac{Force}{Area}$

Therefore, Area is given by : $\sf \frac{Force}{Pressure}$

So,

→ Area = $\sf \frac{120}{6000}$

→ Area = 0.02 m²

_____________________

Units :

• Area is measures by the unit metres
• Force is measured by the unit N (newton)
• And, the pressure is in the unit of p. a. (pascal) if it's calculates in the unit of N/m²
