Question

6
The floor of an elevator is capable of
withstanding a total pressure of 32,000 Pa.
Suppose the total area of the feet of those
standing in the elevator is 1500 cm². What
is the maximum total weight of people the
elevator can carry? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

the floor of an elevator is capable of withstanding total pressure of 32000 pa suppose the total area of feet of those standings in those in the elevator is 1500 cm^2 what is the maximum total weight of the people if 1kgf = 10N

1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

Pressure= 32000Pa

Area= 1500cm²

To find:

Maximum weight

Formula used:

Pressure= Force÷Area

Solution:

The first step is to convert area from cm² to m².

1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²

1500 cm² = 1500 × 10⁻⁴ m²

1500 cm² = 0.15m²

Maximum weight= Maximum height

Force= Pressure × area

Force= 32000 × 0.15

Force= 4800N

________________________________

Pressure:- It is defined as force acting per unit area, which is commonly used for measuring effect of force.

◍SI unit of pressure is pascal (Pa).

Force:- A push or pull on anything is defined as force.

◍SI unit of force is Newton (N).
