A boy exerts a pressure of 48 PA on a box by putting a force of 64N .Calculate the area over which the force is applied .Full explaination

Open in App

Solution

Pressure is defined as force acting per unit area
therefore
Pressure=force/area
Given pressure=48p
Force=64N
48=64/area
area=64/48
area=1.33m²
