Question

A 5kg has a base area of 1m2. Find the pressure exerted by it on the ground. Take 1kg = 10N.

Answer 1

FORMULA

$p = \frac{f}{a}$

Where, p=pressure

f=excerted force

a=cross sectional area

Given

f=5N

a=1m^2

Therefore

P=5/1 N/m^2=5 pascal

Answer 2

Explanation:

F = ma. F = 5 × 10 =50 N(accleration due to gravity=10m/s P = F/A. P=50/1 =50Pa
