Practice questions on Physics Numericals - Pressure — with answers

Try each question first, then open the answer. Explanations are included.

1. A force of 285 N acts on a surface area of 84 m^2. What is the pressure exerted (Pressure = Force / Area)?

A3.39 Pa
B2.39 Pa
C4.75 Pa
D4.39 Pa

Show answer

Answer: A

Pressure = Force / Area = 285 / 84 = 3.39 Pa.

A29.29 Pa
B41 Pa
C30.29 Pa
D28.29 Pa

Show answer

Answer: A

Pressure = Force / Area = 820 / 28 = 29.29 Pa.
