If 30 N of force is exerted over an area of 20 m^2, how much pressure is being applied?

A.) 1.5 pascals

B.) 50 pascals

C.) 600 pascals

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The pressure being applied from the system above is 1.5 pascals. Pressure is the force applied per unit area perpendicular to the direction of the force.

P = 30 N / 20 m^2 = 1.5 N/m^2 or 1.5 Pa
