Question

If 40 N force is exerted by a box covering 2 metre square area, calculate pressure.

Answer 1

`\sf \huge \red {\dag} Given`

`\sf \longmapsto \: Force \: = 40 \: Newtons`

`\sf \longmapsto \: Area \: = \: 2m \: Square \: ( {2m}^(2) )`

We know that the formula of Pressure is

`\sf \longmapsto \: Force/Area`

Let's start.

• Put the values

`\sf \longmapsto \: \: P = 40 \: newtons(force)/2(Area)`

`\sf \longmapsto Pressure \: 20 \: N/m^2`

`\boxed{\sf\red{\boxed{ \sf Pressure ≈ \: 20 \: N/m^2}}}`

Answer 2

• Force=40N
• Area=2m^2

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=(Force)/(Area)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=(40)/(2)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=20Pa`
