A force of 10 N pushing down on a 2m^2 block will produce a pressure of?
To find the pressure, we need to use the formula:
Pressure = Force/Area
Given that the force is 10 N and the area is 2 m^2, we can now calculate the pressure.
Pressure = 10 N / 2 m^2
Dividing the force by the area, we get:
Pressure = 5 N/m^2
Therefore, the pressure exerted on the block will be 5 Newtons per square meter (N/m^2), which is equivalent to 5 Pascal (Pa).
