A hammer exerts a force of 1.5 N on each of the two nails A and B. The area of cross section of tip of nail A is 2 mm 2 while that of nail B is 6 mm 2 . Calculate pressure on each nail in pascal.

As we know, Pressure (P) = Given, F = 1.5 N A = 2 mm 2 Converting 2 mm 2 in metre 2 As 1 mm = m So, 1 mm 2 = (1) mm x (1) mm = = 1 x 10 -6 m 2 Hence, 2 mm 2 = 2 x 10 -6 m 2 A A = 2 x 10 -6 m 2 A B = 6 x 10 -6 m 2 Substituting the values in the formula above, we get, Pressure on A Hence, Pressure on A = 7.5 x 10 5 Pa Pressure on B Hence, Pressure on B = 2.5 x 10 5 Pa
