Question

1. Which will exert more pressure, a 110 kg mass on 5m^2 area or 50 kg mass on 4mm ^2 area? Do calculations to find the answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

50 kg mass

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / area

force = Mass* Acceleration

Here,acceleration is not considered or constant for both masses.

So, pressure is proportional to mass and area

pressure for 110kg mass = 110/5 = 22 pascal

pressure for 50kg mass = 50/4000000 = 12500000

So,pressure of 50kg mass will be more.
