Question

If a force of $40N$ is applied to a sponge of area $5m^2$, then the pressure exerted on the sponge will be $8Pa$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Step 1: Given data

Force, $F=40N$

Area, $A=5m^2$

Step 2: To find the pressure

Pressure is defined as the force acting per unit area.

$Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

$=\frac{40N}{5m^2}$

$=8Pa$

Hence, the given statement is true.
