What force acting on an area of $80\ m^2$ will produce a pressure of $400\ Pa$?


Given: 

Area $A=80\ m^2$

Pressure $P=400\ Pa$

Let $F$ be the acting force.

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

Or $400=\frac{F}{80}$

Or $F=400\times80$

Or $F=32000\ N$

Therefore, $32000\ N$ is the acting force on the given area.
