A force of 50 N acts on an area of 100 cm2. Determine the pressure exerted by this force.

Task data: S (area under pressure) = 100 cm2 (in SI S = 0.01 m2); F (acting force) = 50 N.

The required pressure, which will create a given force, is determined by the formula: P = F / S.

Let’s perform the calculation: P = 50 / 0.01 = 5 * 10 ^ 3 Pa (5 kPa).

Answer: The required pressure is 5 kPa.
