Question

A solid body weighs 234N. When placed on a wooden plank, the area of contact is found to be 10 squre meter. Find the pressure exerted by the brick on the ground?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• 23.4 Pascal is the required answer .

Explanation:

According to the Question

It is given that,

• Area of Contact ,A = 10 m²
• Weight of body ,W = 234N

we have to calculate the pressure exerted by the brick on the ground .

For calculating Pressure we will this Formulae

• Pressure = Weight/Area

by putting the value we get

⇢ Pressure = 234N/10m²

⇢ Pressure = 23.4 Nm⁻²

⇢ Pressure = 23.4 Pa

• Hence, the pressure exerted by the brick on the ground is 23.4 Pascal .

Answer 2

QUESTION :

• A solid body weighs 234N. When placed on a wooden plank, the area of contact is found to be 10 squre meter. Find the pressure exerted by the brick on the ground?

GIVEN :

• A solid body weighs 234N.

• the area of contact is found to be 10

TO FIND :

• Find the pressure exerted by the brick on the ground = ?

SOLUTION :

first we have formula :

• P = W/A

then, we will Substituting the value :

• weight we have = 234/10

• weight we have = 23.4

pressure we have = 23.4

pressure exerted by the brick on the ground = 23.4

important note :

• p we will Called as pressure

• W we called as weight

• A we called as area
