Question

Agal weighing 500 newton is standing on har 1 heel of 1 cm²area. At the same time and elephant weighing 50000 newton is standing on its one foot area 1000 cm².Compare the pressure exerted them on the ground

Answer 1

Answer:

Obviously, the Agal's pressure will be more than the elephant's pressure. This fact is practical and we can prove it mathematically:

$\large \framebox{GIVEN:}$

Agal:

• Weight or force (F₁) = 500N

• Area (A₁) = 1 cm² ⇒ 0.0001 m².

Our beautiful elephant:

• Weight or force (F₂) = 50000N
• Area (A₂) = 1000 cm² ⇒ 0.1m².

$\large \framebox{SOLUTION:}$

Let the pressure of Agal be P₁:

Pressure (P₁) = F₁ ÷ A₁.

P₁ = 500÷0.0001

P₁ = 5000000 Pa.

Let the pressure of our elephant be P₂:

Pressure (P₂) = F₂ ÷ A₂.

P₂ = 50000÷0.1

P₂ = 500000 Pa.

We can clearly see that P₁ > P₂.

$\therefore \large \framebox{Pressure of Agal > Pressure of our beautiful elephant.}$
