Solution

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

(i) : $P_{1} = \frac{150 \times 10}{10} = 150 N / m^{2}$

(ii) : $P_{2} = \frac{50 \times 10}{10} = 50 N / m^{2}$

So, $P_{1} > P_{2}$

$150 k g$ will exert more pressure because it exerts more force.

Which will exert more pressure. 150kg mass on 10m2 or 50kg mass on 10m2?Give reason.

Pressure P=FA(i) : P1=150×1010=150 N/m2(ii) : P2=50×1010=50 N/m2So, P1>P2150 kg will exert more pressure because it exerts more force.
