What will be the force required to expert a pressure of 20, 000 Pa on an area of 1 cm^2.

Question

What will be the force required to exert a pressure of 20,000 pa on a area of 1 cm².

Answer 1

Given :

P = 20, 000 Pa

 A = 1 cm² = 1 x 10 ^-4 m²

p = \(\frac{F}{A}\)

F = P x A

= 20,00 x 10^-4

= 2 x 10⁴ x 10^-4

= 2 N
