Question

A solid body weights 50kg when placed on floor the area of contact is found to be 25m2 find the pressure excerted by the solid body on the floor

Answer 1

Answer:

20 pascals

Explanation:

F = mg

∴F = 50 x 10m/s² = 500N

P = F/A

 = 500/25

 = 20 Pascals

Answer 2

Answer:

20 Pa

Explanation:

GIVEN:

Area = 25 m²

Weight = 50 kg

Force = mg = 50 *10 = 500 N

CALCULATION:

Pressure = Force / Area

               = 500 / 25

               = 20  Pa
