Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by a brick having dimensions 32 cm X 10 cm X 10 cm, which applies a force of 16 N, when it is placed upright on the soil.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Upright on the soil means we have to take area of its base

Area =32*10=320cm²= 320/10000=0.032m²

Force=16N

P= F/A

=16/0.032 pascal

=16*1000/32

=500 pascal
