    Answer: 5000

    Explanation: pressure: force / area

    SI unit of force: newton

    SI unit of area: metre²

    Force exerted: 10 N

    Area on which it is exerted : 20 cm²

    Since area has to be in m² , we convert cm² to m² by dividing it by 10000( m:100cm, 1m²: 10000 cm²)

    Area=20/10000: 0.002 m²

    So, pressure= 10/0.002=5000 pa( SI unit of pressure is pascal)

    Answer:

    Explanation:

    Force of brick = 10 N

    Area of surface = 20 cm^2

    Pressure = force / area

    ∴ Pressure = 10 / 20

    = 1 / 2 or 0.5 Pa

    Hope this hepls
