Question

A nail has $2m^2$ at one end and $\frac{1}{100}{m}^2$ at other end. A force of $10N$ is applied on the first end. Calculate the pressure acting on the wall? The answer is $p\times {10}^{3}Pa$ then p=

Answer 1

Force applied$=10N$

So, Pressure on the other end

$P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{10}{\frac{1}{100}{m}^2}$

$P={10}^{3}Pa$
