  • F=100N
  • A=25m^2


\\ \rm\longmapsto P=(F)/(A)


\\ \rm\longmapsto P=(100)/(25)


\\ \rm\longmapsto P=4Pa

Answer:

P = 4[Pa]

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force over area. So we can use the following equation.


P=F/A

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of Pascals)

F = force = 100 [N]

A = area = 25 [m²]

Now replacing:


P=100/25\\P=4[Pa]
