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.

A plane is in level flight at a constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of 25 m2. If the speed of the air is 180 km/h over the lower wing and 234 km/h over the upper wing surface, determine the plane’s mass. (Take air density to be 1 kg m–3).
A man exerts same pressure on the ground whether he is standing or he is lying.
The unit of thrust is
A gum bottle rests on its base. If it is placed upside down, how does the thrust change?
A normal force of 200 N acts on an area of 0.02 m2. Find the pressure in pascal.
Consider the statement given below and choose the correct option.
Assertion: Sharp knives are used to cut the vegetables.
Reason: Sharp edges exert more pressure.
An empty plastic bottle closed with an airtight stopper is pushed down into a bucket filled with water. As the bottle is pushed down, there is an increasing force on the bottom. This is because
It is difficult to cut cloth using a pair of scissors with blunt blades. Explain.
Pressure is directly proportional to the area of contact.
Upthrust = weight of the fluid displaced – apparent weight of the object.
