What force acting on an area of $8\ m^2$ will produce a pressure of $40\ Pa$?

Given: 

Area $A=8\ m^2$

Pressure $P=40\ Pa$

Let $F$ be the acting force.

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

Or $40=\frac{F}{8}$

Or $F=40\times8$

Or $F=320\ N$

Therefore, $320\ N$ is the acting force on the given area.
