Question

A square tile having a 50 cm side is designed to withstand a pressure of 200 N/m2,find out if a force of 45N can be applied on the tile

Answer 1

Here is your answer .

Side of square = 50 cm =50/100 m= 0.5 m

Pressure exerted on tile= 200 N /m^2

Pressure = Force / Area

200 N/m^2 = F / 0.5 m × 0.5 m

F /0.5 m × 0.5 m =200 N/m^2

F = 200 N/m^2 × 0.5 m × 0.5 m

F = 200 × 0.5 × 0.5 N

F= 50 N

Since, the force exerted on tile is 50 N.

So , 45 N can be applied on the tile

because 45 N < 50 N.
