Question

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

A.

1.5 pascals B.

50 pascalsC.

600 pascals

Answer 1

@mathstudent55

Answer 2

Pressure=Force/Area=>30/20=????

Answer 3

I dont understand

Answer 4

Pressure is defined as force per unit area
So
\[P=\frac F A=\frac {30 Newtons}{20 m^2}=................Pascals\]

Answer 5

Do you get this?

Answer 6

not really

Answer 7

Where do you have doubt?

Answer 8

I don't understand it. Period.

Answer 9

Grace do you know what's force?

Answer 10

the amount of pressure put onto an object?

Answer 11

No, force is defined as Pressure of 1 Pascal on an area of 1 m^2

Answer 12

ooohhh..... very confusing...

Answer 13

Let's understand force, it's defined in several ways, mass times acceleration.
You know that, when a force is applied on a body. It'll accelerate, won't it?

Answer 14

Yes

Answer 15

If pressure is applied, then also a body accelerates. But pressure is generally used with gases.
Suppose I have a gas filled in a container, and the only movable part is a piston. it can move vertically.
