MCQ
Average pressure $p_{av}$ is defined as:
  • $\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}$
  • B
    $\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{F}}$
  • C
    $\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{A}}{\text{F}}$
  • D
    $\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{V}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}$
If $F$ is the magnitude of the normal force acting over an area $A,$ then the average pressure $p$ is defined as the normal force acting per unit area.
$\text{P}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}$
