Question

What force acting on an area of 0.5 m2 will produce a pressure of 500 Pa ?

Answer 1

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

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

so the force will be

F = P x A

here

P = pressure = 500 Pa

A = area = 0.5 ​​​​​​​$m^2$​​​​​​​

thus, we get

F = 500 x 0.5

so force is

F = 250 N
