1 .
What is force measured in?
Joules
Kilograms
Newtons
Pascals
Although the symbol for force is a capital N, when writing it down, unless it is at the start of a sentence, it is written as newton, without a capital letter
2 .
What are the SI units of pressure?
Joules
Kilograms
Newtons
Pascals
1 Pa = 1 N / 1 m2
3 .
If pressure is measured in pascals, Pa, and force in newtons, N, then area is measured in .......
cm2
km2
m2
mm2
You always need to be careful about which units you use
4 .
If pressure increases then .......
force and area are doubled
force and area are halved
force increases or area decreases
force increases or area increases
This is because pressure = force/area
5 .
A box weighs 100 N. The area of the box on the ground is 20 m2. What is the pressure of the box on the ground?
0.02 Pa
5 Pa
50 Pa
2,000 Pa
Pressure = force/area = 100 N/20 m2 = 5 Pa
6 .
A box weighs 60 N. The dimensions of the base are 3 m by 2 m. What is the pressure of the box on the ground?
10 Pa
12 Pa
20 Pa
30 Pa
Pressure = force/area, area = 3 m x 2 m = 6 m2, pressure = 60/6 = 10 Pa
7 .
A sheet of metal in a factory weighs 60 N. Its dimensions are 2 m by 1 m. What is the pressure it puts on the ground?
6 Pa
20 Pa
30 Pa
60 Pa
Area of metal sheet = 2 m x 1 m = 2 m2 so pressure = 60/2 = 30 Pa
8 .
A student weighs 600 N. The area of one foot is 0.01 m2. If she stands on two feet what is the pressure on the ground?
300 Pa
6,000 Pa
30,000 Pa
60,000 Pa
Area of two feet = 0.01 x 2 = 0.02 pressure = 600/0.02
9 .
The dimensions of the base of a box are 80 cm by 100 cm. It weighs 400 N. What is the pressure on the ground?
50 Pa
80 Pa
400 Pa
500 Pa
80 cm = 0.8 m, 100 cm = 1 m, area = 0.8 x 1 = 0.8 m2, pressure = 400/0.8 = 500 Pa
10 .
The size of an African elephant's foot is 40 cm by 50 cm. The elephant weighs 64,000 N. When standing on the ground, what is the pressure it exerts?
40,000 Pa
80,000 Pa
240,000 Pa
300,000 Pa
Area of foot = 40 cm x 50 cm = 0.4 m x 0.5 m = 0.2 m2, area of four feet = 0.8 m2, pressure = 64,000/0.8
