Question

A block measuring 20cm by 10cm by 5cm rests on a flat surface. The block has a weight of 3N. Determine the maximum pressure it exerts on the surface

Answer 1

Answer:

0.06 Pa

Explanation:

P =F÷A

Max pressure = Force ÷minimum area

Force = weight = 3N

Min area =10×5 = 50cm²

3÷50 = 0.06 Pa
