Question

A force of $15N$ is applied on a body over a surface area of 25 $m^2$. Calculate the pressure applied on the surface.

• A. 0.6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.6
Given:
Force on the body $F=15N$
Surface area of the body $A=25m^2$

Now, pressure applied on the body

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{15N}{25m^2}=0.6N{m}^{-2}=0.6Pa$

Pressure applied on the body $=0.6Pa$
