Calculate the pressure in $N m^{- 2}$ experienced by a surface of area $15 m^{2}$ , when a thrust of $185 N$ is applied on it.
12.333

Open in App

Solution

The correct option is A 12.333
Given:
Area of contact, $A = 15 m^{2}$
Thrust, $F = 185 N$
Pressure, $P = \frac{F}{A}$
$⟹ P = \frac{185}{15} = 12.333 N m^{- 2}$
