Question

what force acting on area of 0.5m square will produce a pressure of 500 pascal?

Answer 1

We know that pressure is the normal force acting per unit area. So,

P = F/A

so the force will be

F = P x A

here

P = pressure = 500 Pa

A = area = 0.5 m2

thus, we get

F = 500 x 0.5

so force is

F = 250 N
