Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by the object kept on the
(a)lowest area
(b) biggest area on it. The dimension of the object are 100mx120mx150m....and the weight of object is 5000N​

Answer 1

Answer:

for lowest area it should be placed along dimensions 100 and 120

pressure = force/ area

pressure= 5000/(100*120)

= 5000/12000 = 0.416 Pascal or N/m²

for biggest area it should be placed along dimensions 120 and 150

pressure= 5000/(120*150)

= 5000/18000 = 0.278 Pascal or N/m²

hope it is helpful
