Calculate the pressure in Pa if a thrust of 800 N is applied to an area of 16 m2 ........

Current GK (MTS) General Science

Calculate the pressure (in Pa) if a thrust of 800 N is applied to an area of 16 m2.

128

100

To find pressure, divide force by area:

- Formula: Pressure \( P = \frac{\text{Force (N)}}{\text{Area (m}^2\text{)}} \).

- Given: Force = 800 N, Area = 16 m².

- Calculation: \( P = \frac{800 \, \text{N}}{16 \, \text{m}^2} = 50 \, \text{Pa} \).

Explanation of options:

- Option 1 (128): Incorrect. It's calculated with a different force or area.

- Option 2 (100): Incorrect. This assumes double the pressure from actual values.

- Option 3 (64): Incorrect. This is close but not correct for the given values.

- Option 4 (50): Correct. Matches our calculation exactly.
