Answer:

  • 0.8 N/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given ,

A force F = 2.0 N is applied over an area of 2.5 m².

As we know that force is Pressure is equal to the ratio of force and area,

Pressure = force/area

where,

  • Force is measured in Newton's
  • Area is measured in metre square.

putting the required values,

  • Pressure = 2.0 N /2.5 m²
  • Pressure = 0.8 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure is 0.8 N/.
