Question

When Jenny writes, the pencil exerts a force of 5n on the paper. The area of the contact is 0.5mm square. Calculate the pressure.

Answer 1

p= F/A (pressure= Force/ Area) so 5/0.5 = 10N/mm. Pressure is 10N/mm

Answer 2

The pressure is 10 N/mm.

pressure= Force/ Area.

So 5/0.5 = 10 N/mm.

Pressure is 10 N/mm.

What is pressure?

Pressure is the force carried out perpendicular to the surface of an item per unit area over which that pressure is distributed. Gauge pressure is the strain relative to the ambient strain.

What are the types of pressure?

• Absolute pressure.
• Gauge pressure.
• Differential pressure.
• Sealed pressure or vacuum pressure.
