Physics, asked by Prajakta88, 1 year ago

(1) I want to know how much pressure is generated when we stand on ground. Pressure = force/area . Force is mass x acceleration . Do we need to take acc. as 9.8 or 0 .
(2) Is the weight measured on a weighing machine is the 'pressure' of an object or the person bcoz weight of mass can be zero depending on gravity.
(3)what is the formula for weighing something ?

Please help !

(1) You should take acceleration as 9.8 m/s. I know that the 0 you have written actually means 10 m/s. Actually, the value depends on what the question says. If not mentioned, then take 9.8 m/s.
(2) The weight measured is not the pressure, it is the force being applied by the person on the ground, thats why the weighing machine will show different values on different planets. And you can't say 'weight of mass', they are different terms.
(3) The formula for weighing something is
w=mg
Where F=Force
m=mass of object
g=gravity or acceleration due to gravity
Plz mark as brainliest :D

chiefLucky: What is not accelerating?
Prajakta88: the object or person on the ground
chiefLucky: Oh..... We can't go into the ground now, can we? Haha
chiefLucky: We are accelerating
chiefLucky: But its just that we can't feel it when we can standing
Prajakta88: ohhk...its a bit comlicated
chiefLucky: When we jump, wed can feel it, no?
Prajakta88: btw thanyou very much for your help :D
chiefLucky: I know its complicated
chiefLucky: No problem :) :D
