Question

A person applies a force of $36\mathrm{N}$ on an area of $4{\mathrm{m}}^2$. How much pressure is applied?

Answer 1

Step-1: Given data

Force = $\mathrm{F}=36\mathrm{N}$

Area = $\mathrm{A}=4{\mathrm{m}}^2$

Pressure=$?$

Step-2: Formula used

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

Step-3: Calculating the pressure

Pressure=$\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{36}{4}=9\mathrm{Pa}$

Hence, the pressure is $9\mathrm{Pa}$.
