Understanding Pressure

Pressure is defined as force distributed over an area. The formula is:

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

Applying the Formula

* Force (F): 10 N

* Area (A): 0.2 m²

Calculation

* Pressure (P) = 10 N / 0.2 m² = 50 N/m²

Units

* The standard unit for pressure is Pascals (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m².

Therefore, the pressure exerted on the inside of the can is 50 Pa.
