If a weight of 150 N is applied on a surface of area 10 cm x 10 cm, calculate the pressure acting on the surface.
Medium
Solution
Given:
Weight of object = 150 N
Surface Area = 10x10 cm = 10×10/100 m
=1m
To Find:
Pressure acting on the object
Sol;
Pressure of a given object
= Area of object in metre/Weight in Newton
= N/m²
= 1/150 N/m²
