The surface area of a flat viewing hatch on a pressurized chamber is 0.075 m2.
Calculate the magnitude of the force on the hatch due to an internal air pressure of 150 000 Pa150\,000\text{ Pa}150000 Pa.
Use the equation:
pressure=forcearea \text{pressure} = \frac{\text{force}}{\text{area}} pressure=areaforce54 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Physics 15.2 Pressure in fluids, covering 15.2.1 Atmospheric pressure and height, 15.2.2 Pressure in fluids, 15.2.3 Pressure, force and area, 15.2.4 Pressure and depth, 15.2.5 Pressure in liquids: depth and density, 15.2.6 Upthrust, and 15.2.7 Floating and sinking.
