Question

A rectangular wooden block has length,breadth and height of 50cm ,25cm and 10 cm,respectively.This wooden block is kept on ground in three different ways,turn by turn.Which of the following is the correct statement about the pressure exerted by this block on the ground? *

The maximum pressure is exerted when length and breadth form the base.
The maximum pressure is exerted when length and height form the base.
The maximum pressure is exerted when height and breadth form the base.
The pressure exerted in all three cases will be same.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that,

Pressure = Force /Area

Therefore, the force acting on a smaller area exerts a large pressure and a large area exerts smaller pressure.

So, the answer will be, on the side (25 × 10) has maximum Pressure and on the side (50 × 25) has minimum pressure.

Hope it helps..

Answer 2

Answer:    C IS CORRECT OPTION

Explanation:We know that,

Pressure = Force /Area

Therefore, the force acting on a smaller area exerts a large pressure and a large area exerts smaller pressure.

So, the answer will be, on the side (25 × 10) has maximum Pressure and on the side (50 × 25) has minimum presure.
