Question

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor when an elephant who weight is 2400N stands on one foot which has an area of 0.4m2.

Answer 1

Answer:

6000 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = $\frac{Force}{Area}$ =  $\frac{2400 }{0.4}$ $\frac{N}{m^{2} }$ = 6000 $\frac{N}{m^{2} }$ = 6000 Pa

∴ The pressure exerted on the floor is 6000 Pa.
