Understanding Pressure

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

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

Applying the Formula

* Force (F) = 10 N

* Area (A) = 0.2 m²

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

Units

* Pressure is typically measured in Pascals (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m².

Answer

The pressure exerted on the outside of the can is 50 Pascals (Pa).
