Question

A 5kg cuboid of dimension 3m × 2m × 1m is placed on the table top . find the maximum pressure exerted by the cuboid

Answer 1

Given  :   Mass of cuboid m = 5 kg
                Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2
so ,           weight of iron block, W  = m x g 
                                                  = 5 x 10 = 50 N

so we can say force exerted by the cuboid on the table top = 50 N

a ) 1st case -                    F = 50 N
                                  Area = 3 m * 2 m
                                        
                                         = 6 m2

we know, Pressure = Force /Area
                           = 50/ 6 Pascal

                           = 8.33pa 

b) 2nd case -                  F = 50 N
                                   Area = 2m *1m
                                         = 2 m*m
                                         =

we know, Pressure = Force /Area
                           = 50 / 2 Pascal

                             = 25 pa
