Question

A force of 200 N is applied to an area of $10m^2$. Compute pressure being applied on the area

• A. 2000 Pa
• B. 20 Pa
• C. 100 Pa
• D. 10 Pa

Answer 1

The correct option is B 20 Pa

Given: Force = 200 N, Area = 10 $m^2$
As we know,
$Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

$=\frac{200}{10}$

$=20Pa$
