What is the pressure if 10 N of force acts at 60 degrees from the normal of a 5 m^2 surface?(a) 0.5 Pa(b) 1 Pa(c) 2 Pa(d) 4 PaThis question was posed to me in an international level competition.I'd like to ask this question from Measurement of Pressure topic in portion Temperature and Pressure of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (b) 1 Pa

Best EXPLANATION: NORMAL COMPONENT of the FORCE = 10cos60^o = 10*0.5 = 5 N, => Pressure = 5/5 = 1 Pa.
