Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by a boy weighing 45 kg standing on the ground with his foot area 20 CM square an elephant weighing 1000 kg with foot area 1 m square standing on the ground.Which of the two exerts more pressure?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The elephant

Step-by-step explanation:

P1 = pressure exerted by boy

P2 = pressure exerted by elephant

P1 = 45 ÷ 20 = 2.25 N/m^2

P2 = 1000 ÷ 1 = 1000 N/m^2

P2>P1
