Understanding Pressure

Pressure is defined as the force applied perpendicularly to a surface divided by the area of that surface.

Formula

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

Calculations

1. Convert Area to Square Meters:

* 10 cm² = 10 / 10000 m² = 0.001 m²

2. Apply the Formula:

* P = 150 N / 0.001 m²

* P = 150,000 N/m²

Answer: The pressure of the fluid is 150,000 N/m², or 150 kPa (kilopascals).
