Question

A brick is 32cm long ,10cm wide,10cm thick it weights 16N or is lying on ground find the pressure exerted by brick onground

Answer 1

Answer:

So the answer is 1/200N/cm2.

Answer 2

Answer:

500Pa

Explanation:

Length of the brick = 32cm

                                = 0.32m

Width of the brick = 10cm

                              = 0.1m

We don't need thickness

................................................................

Force = 16N

Area of contact = 0.032 meter square

We know that pressure = Force/Area

So, pressure exerted = 16N/0.032 meter square

                                   = 500N/meter square

                                   = 500Pa
