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.

Why dams are made stronger and thicker at the bottom than at the top?
Scuba divers wear special suits to withstand ______.
Assertion (A): Wide wooden sleepers are kept below railway lines to reduce pressure on the railway tracks and prevent them from sinking into the ground.
Reason (R): Pressure is directly proportional to the area in which it is acting.
