Question

A block of 2kg has dimensions 3cmx5cmx2cm. When kept on floor find the maximum and minimum pressure it will exert on floor....

CORRECT ANSWER PL​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure is the force per unit area. So, P=F/A

Thus, minimum surface area (5cm×10cm) will give the maximum pressure and maximum area (20cm×10cm)  will give the minimum pressure. 

So, Pmax=50×10−42gN/m2 and Pmin=200×10−42gN/m2

Thus, PmaxPmin=50/200=1/4

answer 1/4
