Question

Calculate the pressure exerted on the ground by each foot of a horse if it weighs 5000N and each foot has an area of 125cm square

Answer 1

Answer:

5000/125=40

therefore the pressure exerted on the ground by each foot of the horse is 40cm square.

Step-by-step explanation:

newton =surface area by pressure exerted so pressure exerted = newton / surface area

Answer 2

Answer:

4000N/m square

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure= Force/area

Because the SI unit of area is metre square, you have to convert your 125cm square to metre square:

125cm square= 1.25m square

So, substitute your values into your formula:

                 P=5000/1.25

                 P=4000N/m square
