Calculate the pressure when a force of 200 N is exerted on an area of:

1.	Calculate the pressure when a force of 200 N is exerted on an area of: (a) 10m2 (b) 5m2
Answer» Given: Force applied is given as: 200 N Now, we know that the Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. or Pressure = Force/ Area (a) Area = 10m² P = 200N/10m² or P = 20 Nm² or 20 Pascal (b) Area = 10m2 P = 200N/5m² or P = 40 Nm² or 40 Pascal

Calculate the pressure when a force of 200 N is exerted on an area of: (a) 10m2 (b) 5m2

Answer»

Given: Force applied is given as: 200 N

Now, we know that the Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. or Pressure = Force/ Area

(a) Area = 10m²

P = 200N/10m²

or P = 20 Nm² or 20 Pascal

(b) Area = 10m2

P = 200N/5m²

or P = 40 Nm² or 40 Pascal
