Question

a shipping container is removed from the ship. the dimensions of the container are 8m*2m. the pressure exerted on the floor is 2840 n/m. what force is being exerted by the shipping container on the ground​

Answer 1

Answer:

Okay, nice question.

✯GIVEN:

• Dimensions: Lenght = 8m; Breadth = 2m.
• Pressure (p) = 2840 nm⁻².

✯SOLUTION:

Force (f) = pressure (p) × area (a)

To find the base area, we multiply length and breadth.

Area (a) = 8×2

⇒16m².

Now, just substitute it in the formula.

Force = 2840×16

Force = 45440N.
