Question 5

A normal force of 200 N acts on an area 0.02 m2. Find the pressure in pascal.

Answer

Given:
Thrust (f) = 200 N
Area (A) = 0.02 m2
Pressure = ?

Pressure=ThrustArea=2000.02=10000 Pa\text{Pressure} = \dfrac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Area}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{200}}{\text{0.02}} \\[1em] = 10000 \text{ Pa}

So Pressure = 10000 Pa.
