Question

A solid cube of dimension 50 x 50 x 50 cm³ and weight 25N is placed on a table , calculate the pressure exerted.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

area = 50cm × 50cm × 50cm

force = 25 N

presseure = force/area

= 25/(50× 50 × 50)

= 1/5000 Pa

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the pressure(P) exerted by an object on a given surface is equal to its weight(F) acting in the direction perpendicular to that surface divided by the total surface area of contact(A) between the object and the surface.

where a is the dimension of the cube.

Given that a=50 cm=0.5 m,F=25 N

⟹25/0.5 x0.5

=2500/25

=100

⟹P=100 Pa
