Distribution of Pressure

A force of 40...

Question

A force of 400 N exerts pressure of 20 N/cm². What is the area on which the force acts?

Open in App

Solution

Force = 400 N
Pressure = 20 N/cm²

Area on which this force acts = Force / Pressure

Area = (400/20) cm²
= 20 cm²

Thus, the force is acting on an area of 20 cm².
