pressure
Pressure = Force ÷ area
If a force of 10 newtons acts on an area of 2m² What pressure
does it exert
does it exert
pressure = force ÷ area
pressure = 10 newtons ÷ 2 m²
pressure = 5 newtons/m²
or 5 pascals (Pa)
pressure = 10 newtons ÷ 2 m²
pressure = 5 newtons/m²
or 5 pascals (Pa)
rearranged versions
Force = pressure x area, area = force ÷pressure
Force = pressure x area, area = force ÷pressure
