A force of 5 N is applied on a body over a surface area of 5 m2. Calculate

Question

A force of

5 N

is applied on a body over a surface area of 5

m^{2}

. Calculate the pressure applied on the surface.

Options:

A . 2 Pa

B . 3 Pa

C . 5 Pa

D . 1 Pa

Answer: Option D
:
D
Given:
Force on the body

F = 5 N

Surface area of the body

A = 5 m^{2}

Now, pressure applied on the body

P = \frac{F}{A}

P = \frac{5 N}{5 m^{2}} = 1 N m^{- 2} = 1 P a

Pressure applied on thebody

= 1 P a
