Understanding Pressure

Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. The formula is:

* Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)

Applying the Information

* Force (F) = 800 N

* Area (A) = 2 m²

Calculation

* P = 800 N / 2 m²

* P = 400 N/m²

Answer

The pressure exerted is 400 N/m² (Newtons per square meter).
