Question

A force of 1200N acts on the surface of area 10 cm² normally.What would be the pressure and thrust on the surface

Answer 1

Step 1, Given data

Force = 1200 N

Area = $10c{m}^2=0.001m^2$

Step 2, Finding the pressure and thrust

We know,

Thrust = Force acting normally = 1200 N

Now,

$Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

Putting all the values

$Pressure=\frac{1200}{0.001}=1200000Pa$

Hence the pressure is 1200000 Pa
