Homework Equations
P=F/A
The Attempt at a Solution
F= 30N
A= πr^2
r= .01m
A = .0001π
P=F/A
P= 10^3 Pa
but the answer is E) 10^5 Pa
Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. It is typically measured in units of Pascals (Pa) or Newtons per square meter (N/m2).
Pressure is calculated by dividing the force applied by the area over which it is applied. The formula is: P = F/A, where P is pressure, F is force, and A is area.
Pressure is affected by the force applied, the area over which it is applied, and the depth of the object or substance being measured. Other factors such as temperature and altitude can also affect pressure.
Pressure is related to other physical properties such as volume and temperature through various laws, such as Boyle's Law and Charles's Law. These laws describe the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature in gases.
Pressure is used in many real-life applications, including weather forecasting, scuba diving, and even cooking. It is also important in engineering and design, as it helps determine the strength and stability of structures.
