Given: F = 300 N; `"A" = 30 " cm"^2 = 30/(100xx100)"m" ^2 = 30xx10^-4 "m"^2`
To Find: Pressure
`therefore "P" = "F"/"A"`
`= 300/(30/(100xx100)`
` = (300xx100xx100)/30`
= 100000
= 105 Pa
Calculate the pressure in pascal exerted by a force of 300 N acting normally on an area of 30 cm2.

Explain why Atmospheric pressure at a height of about 6 km decreases to nearly half of its value at the sea level, though the height of the atmosphere is more than 100 km
A 50 kg girl wearing high heel shoes balances on a single heel. The heel is circular with a diameter 1.0 cm. What is the pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor?
Toricelli’s barometer used mercury. Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m–3. Determine the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure.
