Question

A rectangular wooden block has length, breadth and height of 50 cm, 25 cm and 10 cm
respectively. This wooden block is kept on the ground in three different ways, turn by turn.
Where is the maximum pressure exerted

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Information provided with us :

• A rectangular wooden block has length, breadth and height of 50 cm, 25 cm and 10 cm
• This wooden block is kept on the ground in three different ways
• They are kept turn by turn

What we have to calculate :

• Maximum pressure exerted by the rectangular wooden block

Required Calculations :

• Here we have been provided with the length, breadth and height of the rectangular wooden block. We know that when a force is applied on a body if the area is small , so the pressure will be applied more. And if the area is large, pressure will be applied less on the given body. In this question maximum pressure will be calculated by (length × breadth) because the area is small pressure is being applied more.

Maximum pressure exerted:-

=> Maximum pressure = l × b

Putting the values,

=> Maximum pressure = 25 × 10

=> Maximum pressure = 250

Henceforth, maximum pressure exerted is 250cm²
