Question

Find the area of a body which experiences a pressure of 50000 Pa by a thrust of 100 N?

Answer 1

Pressure on the body = 50,000 pa

Force or thrust = 100 N

$We\; know\; that,$

$Pressure\; =\; `"Force"/"Area"`$

By substituting the values we get, 

a = `100/(50,000) = 10/5000`

A = `10/5000 = 10/(5 xx 10^3) = 2/10^3 = 2 xx 10^-3 "m"^2`
