Question

a brick is 32 cm long , ten cm wide and 10 cm thick . it weighs 16n and is lying on the ground . find the pressure exerted by the brick on the ground

Answer 1

Pressure=weight/Area

here wt.=16N and Area=32x10

so Pressure=16/(32x10)=1/20

=0.05

Answer 2

Answer:

Area = 32 × 10 × 10 cm^2

Weight = 16 N

Pressure = Weight / area

Pressure = 0.005 Pa
