Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Pressure: It is the component of the force normal to the area under consideration.
- Its dimensions are [ML–1T–2]
- The pressure is a scalar quantity since force is a vector quantity
- The SI unit of pressure is Nm–2. It has been named pascal (Pa)
FORMULA:
We know,
Pressure (P) = Force(F)/Area(A)
Calculation:
We have,
Force(F) = 1000 N
Area(A) = 5 m2
Therefore,
P = 1000/5 = 200 N/m2 = 200 Pa
Hence, the pressure is 200 Pa.
