Rank the measurements in order of increasing pressure.


4 kPa, 16 N/m2, 311 N/m2, 0.3 Pa



16 N/m2, 311 N/m2, 0.3 Pa, 4 kPa

4 kPa, 16 N/m2, 311 N/m2, 0.3 Pa

4 kPa, 311 N/m2, 16 N/m2, 0.3 Pa

0.3 Pa, 16 N/m2, 311 N/m2, 4 kPa

Verified Answer :

For the answer to the question above.
The pressure (the symbol "P") is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object.
This is from least to greatest: 0.3Pa, 16 N/m2, 311 N.m2, 4kPa

Answer : The correct option is, \((0.3Pa),(16N/m^2),(311N/m^2),(4KPa)\)

Explanation :

As we know that,

\(1atm=101325\frac{N}{m^2}\\\\(1\frac{N}{m^2}=1Pa)\\\\101325\frac{N}{m^2}=101325Pa\\\\(1KPa=1000Pa)\\\\101325Pa=101.325KPa\)

Now we convert all the given values of the pressure into the Pascal(Pa), we get

\(4KPa=4\times 1000Pa=4000Pa\\\\16\frac{N}{m^2}=16Pa\\\\311\frac{N}{m^2}=311Pa\)

Thus, the measurements in order of increasing pressure is,

\((0.3Pa)<(16N/m^2)<(311N/m^2)<(4KPa)\)
