Question

When a force of 5 N acts on a surface, it produces a pressure of 500 Pa. The area of surface then must
be

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure = Force / Area

Area = Force / Pressure

= 5 N / (500 Pa)

= 0.01 m²

= 0.01 × 10⁴ cm²

= 100 cm²

Answer 2

Pressure = Force / Area

Area = Force / Pressure

= 5 N / (500 Pa)

= 0.01 m²

= 0.01 × 10⁴ cm²

= 100 cm²

(c) is the correct option.
