Question

when a force of 5N acts on a surface, it produces a pressure of 500pa. what is the area of surface​

Answer 1

Force that acts on area is defined as pressure,

$p=\dfrac{F}{A}$

If we solve for area,

$A=\dfrac{F}{p}$

Now put in the data.

$A=\dfrac{5N}{500Pa}=\boxed{0.01m^2}$

The area of surface is 0.01m^2

Hope this helps.
