What force acting on an area of $0.5\ m^2$ will produce a pressure of $500\ Pa$ ?

Given: 

Area $A=0.5\ m^2$

Pressure $P=500\ Pa$

Let $F$ be the acting force.

We know, $Pressure\ P=\frac{Force(F)}{Area(A)}$

Or $500=\frac{F}{0.5}$

Or $F=500\times0.5$

Or $F=250\ N$

Therefore, $250\ N$ is the acting force on the given area.
