Question

Calculate the area of contact of tyres of a truck and the road when a force of 500000 N is exerted to produce a pressure of 2500000 Pa on the road.(Truck has 6 tyres)
​

Answer 1

As we know;


Here, we have that:
Force = 500000 N
Pressure = 250000 Pa

Putting the values in the formula, we get;
250000= 500000/ A

A = 500000 / 25
area =2


Therefore, the answer is:
2m²
