When a force of 5 N acts on a surface, it produces a pressure of 500 Pa. The area of surface then must be:
$(a)$.\ 10\ cm^2$
$(b)$.\ 50\cm^2$
$(c)$.\ 100\ cm^2$
$(d)$.\ 0.01\ cm^2$
Here, it is given: Force applied $F=5\ N$
Pressure produced $P=500\ Pa$
Let $A$ be the surface area.
On using $P=\frac{F}{A}$
Or $500=\frac{5}{A}$
Or $A=\frac{5}{500}$
Or $A=0.01\ m^2$
So, option (d) is corrrect.
