Find the area of a body which experiences a pressure of 50,000 Pa by a thrust of 100 N.
Given:Pressure = 50,000 PaThrust = 100 NArea = ?
Pressure=ThrustAreaArea=ThrustPressure=10050000=0.002 m2\text{Pressure}= \dfrac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Area}} \\[1em] \text{Area}= \dfrac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Pressure}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{100}{50000} \\[1em] = 0.002 \text{ m}^{2}Pressure=AreaThrustArea=PressureThrust=50000100=0.002 m2
So Area of body = 0.002 m2 or 2 x 10-3 m2.
