TITLE: PRESSURE ON SOLIDS

Starter:
Lesson Objective:
Why does the balloon
Know and use the equation for Pressure
not burst?
in solids

Lesson Outcomes:
Be able to use the equation for
pressure to solve problems
Be able to calculate pressure and
give the appropriate unit Keywords:
Be able to calculate pressure in SI Pressure, force, area,
units inversely proportional
Be able to explain the how
pressure can vary in various
contexts
Relationship between Force, Pressure and Area

• If a constant force is applied, what is the relationship between


pressure and area? In other words, if we decrease the area what
happens to the pressure?
Write down the relationship
between p and A, if the force is
constant
𝟏
𝒑𝜶
𝑨
We can draw a diagram to represent the formulae for
pressure

Force = Pressure x
Area
Pressure = Force ÷
F Area
Area = Force ÷
Pressure
P A
Things to look out for:
• Do you need to calculate the area?
• Do you need to calculate the force in Newtons?

5cm
25kg

2cm

2 x 5 = 10cm2 25kg x 10 = 250N


A box creates a force of
100 Newton’s on a table.
It’s pressure on the table is
15Newton’s/m2.
F
Find the area of the base of
the box.
P A

Area = Force ÷ Pressure


= 100 ÷ 15
= 6.67m2
An elephants foot has a
pressure of 10,000N/m2. F
The area of one foot is
0.18m2. P A
Find the force of one foot.

Force = Pressure x Area


= 10,000 x 0.18
= 1800N
A weight is place on a
table. Its mass is 25kg. The F
dimensions, of the face on
the table, are 5cm by 5cm P A
Find the pressure of the
weight on the table.
Area = 5 x 5 = 25cm2
Newton’s = 25 x 10 = 250N
Pressure = Force ÷ Area
= 250 ÷ 25
= 10 N/cm2

8.696 90 34000 0.008 38.4

1.989 17.3 0.005 0.153 120

75000 68.75 276 8.27 2.5


Find the pressure in N/cm2
when the force applied is
200N and the surface area is
23cm2.
200 ÷ 23 = 8.696 N/cm2
(3dp)
Calculate the area if an
object creates pressure of
25N/m2 when acting from
the force of 3000N.

3000 ÷ 25 = 120m2
Convert 80 cm2 to m2.

80 ÷ 10,000 = 0.008 m2
Convert 3.4 N/m2 to N/cm2

3.4 x 10,000 = 34000


N/cm2
A box is placed on the floor.
The area of the box in contact with the floor is
2.4m2.
Pressure exerted on the floor 16 Newtons/m2

16 x 2.4 = 38.4N
A force of 45N is applied to
an area of 26,000cm2. Work
out the pressure in N/m2.

45 ÷ 2.6 = 17.3N/m2
Convert 7.5 m2 to cm2.

7.5 x 10,000 = 75000 cm2


A force applied to an area of
4.5m2 produces a pressure
of 20 N/m2. Work out the
force in N.

20 x 4.5 = 90 N
A cylindrical bottle of water has a flat,
circular base with a diameter of 0.1 m.
The bottle is on a table and exerts a force
of 12N on the table.
Work out the pressure in N/cm2 correct to
3 sig fig.

12 ÷ (π x 52) = 0.153
N/cm2
Convert 50 N/cm2 to N/m2.

50 ÷ 10,000 = 0.005 N/m2


A cylinder is placed on the ground.
The cylinder has a weight of 25N and has a radius
of 2cm.
Work out the pressure on the ground in
Newtons/cm2.

25N ÷ (π x22) =
1.989N/cm2
A computer is installed on a desk.
The area in contact with the desk is 550cm2.
The pressure on the desk is 1250 Newtons/m2.
Work out the force exerted by the computer
on the desk.

1250 x 0.055 = 68.75 N


Find the force when the
pressure is 12N/cm2 and the
surface area is 23cm2.

12 x 23 = 276 N
Calculate the area if an
object creates pressure of
55N/m2 when acting from
the force of 455N.

455 ÷ 55 = 8.27m2(2dp)
A box is placed on the floor.
The force of the box in contact with the floor is
40N.
Pressure exerted on the floor 16 Newtons/m2

40 ÷ 16 = 2.5m2
Answers to Pressure Calculations

1) 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01m2 2400 ÷ 0.01 = 240000 N/m2


2) 0.02 x 0.01 = 0.0002m2 2000 ÷ 0.0002 = 10000000 N/m2
3) 900 ÷ 0.0001 = 9000000 N/m2
4) 2 x 2 = 4m2 700 ÷ 4 = 175 N/m2
5) 7500 ÷ 0.0004 = 18750000 N/m2
6) 4 x 6 = 24m2 60000 ÷ 24 = 2500 N/m2
7) 0.02 x 0.01 = 0.0002m2 580 ÷ 0.0002 = 2900000 N/m2
8) 50 x 50 = 2500cm2 600 ÷ 250 = 16 N/cm2 or 0.5
x 0.5 = 0.25m2 600 ÷ 0.25 = 2400 N/m2
9) 4000 ÷ 250 = 16 N/m2
10) 2 ÷ 0.000001 = 2000000 N/m2
11) 1600 x 10 = 16000 N 16000 ÷ 0.08 = 200000 N/m2
