Question

An elephant of weight 25,600 N stands on four feet. Find the pressure exerted on the ground if the area of each foot is approximately 250 cm square. Give your answer in SI units.​

Answer 1

Answer:

orce = 25600 N

area of 4 foot

= 4(250) cm^2

= 1000 cm^2

= 1000/ 10000 m^2

= 1/10 m^2

pressure = 25600/(1/10) Pa = 256000 Pa

Answer 2

Required Answer:

As per the provided question, we have:

• Force exerted on the ground ( weight of the elephant) → 25,600 N

• Area of each foot → $\sf { 25{cm}^{2}}$

We have to find:

• Pressure exerted on the ground (In SI unit)

Calculation:

So, as one foot exerts area of $\sf { 25{cm}^{2}}$, thus total area exerted by 4 feet:

Area of four feet → $\sf { 25{cm}^{2}}$ × 4

Area of four feet → $\sf { 1000{cm}^{2}}$

● Now, let us convert the area in its SI unit:

Area in $\sf { {m}^{2}}$ → $\dfrac{1000}{10,000}$

Area in $\sf { {m}^{2}}$ → $\sf {0.1 {m}^{2}}$

________

Now, substitute the values in the formula of pressure given below:

• ${\underline {\boxed {\large {\bf \gray { P = \dfrac{F}{A}} }}}}$

Where,

● P = pressure

● F = force

● A = area

$\sf { \longrightarrow P = \dfrac{25,600 \:N}{{0.1m}^{2}}}$

$\sf { \longrightarrow P = 2,56,000 \: Pa}$

Thus, pressure exerted on the ground is 2,56,000 Pa.
