What force acting on an area of $20\ m^2$ will produce a pressure of $600\ Pa$?


Given: 

Area $A=20\ m^2$

Pressure $P=600\ Pa$

Let $F$ be the acting force.

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

Or $600=\frac{F}{20}$

Or $F=600\times20$

Or $F=12000\ N$

Therefore, $12000\ N$ is the acting force on the given area.
