Question

A truck is of mass 50,000 kg.Its tyres exert a pressure of 2,500,000 pa. The surface area of tyres is
(Take g = 10m s^-2)

Answer 1

Hey there!

Given,

Mass (m) = 50 000 kg

Pressure (P) = 2,500,000 pa

Force (F) = ?

Area (A) = ?

We know,

Force= Mass  * acceleration

         = 50 000 * 10

         = 5 00 000 N

And,

Pressure = Thrust / Area

Area = thrust / pressure

Area = 5,00,000 / 2500000

Area = 5/25

Area = 1/5 sq. unit
