If 30 N of force is exerted over an area of 20 m2, how much pressure is being applied?
pressure=force/area
34
To calculate pressure, you need to divide the force applied by the area over which it is applied. In this case, the force is given as 30 N and the area is given as 20 m².
To find the pressure, you can use the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
Substituting the given values:
Pressure = 30 N / 20 m²
Dividing 30 N by 20 m²:
Pressure = 1.5 N/m²
Therefore, the pressure being applied is 1.5 N/m².
