Question

If 30 N of force is exerted over an area of 20 m2, how much pressure is being applied

1.5 pascals
50 pascals
600 pascals

Answer 1

The formula to find the Pressure is: P (Pressure) = F(Force) / A(Area)

Since F = 30 N, and A = 20 m2

So
`P = (F)/(A) = (30)/(20) = 1.5`

So, the pressure being applied is 1.5 Pascals.

Hope this helps :)
