Question

Estimate the ratio of pressure:
Estimate the ratio of pressures exerted on the objects whose areas are in the ratio of 2:3 if the ratio of the forces applied on these objects is 4:3.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the two masses as 3x and 4x respectively.Given acceleration of first body as 6.

F=m×a

F=3x×6=18x

As we are applying same force for the second body,

18x=4x×a

⇒a=18/4=4.5m/s

.

Hence acceleration is 4.5m/s
