Understanding Pressure and Force

What happens to the pressure exerted by a force if the area it is applied to is halved?

• The pressure is doubled.

• The pressure is halved.

• The pressure remains the same.

• The pressure is quadrupled.

If a force of 20 Newtons is applied to an area of 5 square meters, what is the pressure exerted?

• 5 Pascals

• 2 Pascals

• 4 Pascals

• 10 Pascals

How do you rearrange the pressure formula to solve for force?

• Subtract area from pressure.

• Multiply pressure by area.

• Divide pressure by area.

• Add pressure to area.

A pressure of 100 Pascals is applied over an area of 2 square meters. What is the force exerted?

• 50 Newtons

• 150 Newtons

• 200 Newtons

• 100 Newtons

If the pressure is 3 Pascals and the area is 60 square meters, what is the force applied?

• 240 Newtons

• 120 Newtons

• 180 Newtons

• 60 Newtons
