Q2 of 6 Page 143

What is the force needed to produce of 1 pa over a square area of side 2m?

We know,


Pressure = force/ area


Therefore,


Force = pressure × area


Here,


Given


Pressure= 1 pa


Side of a square= 2m


So, area of the square = 2×2 m2 = 4 m2


So,


Force= 1×4 Newton = 4 Newton
