Pressure Problems - Detailed Solutions (Questions 1 to 10)

Question 1

A force of 100 newtons is applied on an area of 4 square meters. Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 100 newtons
Area = 4 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 100 newtons ÷ 4 m² = 25 N/m²

Answer: 25 newtons per square meter

Question 2

A force of 50 newtons is applied over an area of 10 square meters. Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 50 newtons
Area = 10 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 50 newtons ÷ 10 m² = 5 N/m²

Answer: 5 newtons per square meter

Question 3

A block weighing 120 newtons rests on an area of 4 square centimetres. Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 120 newtons
Area = 4 cm² = 0.0004 m²
Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 120 newtons ÷ 0.0004 m² = 300000 N/m²

Answer: 300000 newtons per square meter

Question 4

A force of 4 newtons is applied over an area of 2 square millimetres. Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 4 newtons
Area = 2 mm² = 0.000002 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 4 newtons ÷ 0.000002 m² = 2000000 N/m²

Answer: 2000000 newtons per square meter

Question 5

A brick of weight 24 newtons rests on the ground on its 30 cm × 10 cm face. Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 24 newtons
Area = 30 × 10 = 300 cm² = 0.03 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 24 newtons ÷ 0.03 m² = 800 N/m²

Answer: 800 newtons per square meter

Question 6

A brick of weight 24 newtons is placed on its 10 cm × 10 cm face. Find the pressure.


Given:
Force = 24 newtons
Area = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 24 newtons ÷ 0.01 m² = 2400 N/m²

Answer: 2400 newtons per square meter

Question 7

A brick of weight 48 newtons lies on its 30 cm × 10 cm face. Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 48 newtons
Area = 300 cm² = 0.03 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 48 newtons ÷ 0.03 m² = 1600 N/m²

Answer: 1600 newtons per square meter

Question 8

A brick of weight 48 newtons is placed on its 10 cm × 10 cm face. Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 48 newtons
Area = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 48 newtons ÷ 0.01 m² = 4800 N/m²
Answer: 4800 newtons per square meter

Question 9

A force of 50 newtons is applied over an area of 100 cm². Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 50 newtons
Area = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 50 newtons ÷ 0.01 m² = 5000 N/m²

Answer: 5000 newtons per square meter

Question 10

A force of 100 newtons is applied over an area of 144 cm². Find the pressure.

Given:
Force = 100 newtons
Area = 144 cm² = 0.0144 m²

Formula:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Pressure = 100 newtons ÷ 0.0144 m² = 6944.44 N/m²

Answer: 6944.44 newtons per square meter
