For the given block, which of its surface will exert
minimum pressure? If its weight is 6 N, calculate the
pressure in such a case.
I = 8 cm
h = 6 cm
w = 6 cm
Answers
Answer:
The answer is 1250 N/m^2
Explanation:
As we know that the expression for pressure is
Pressure = Force / Area
Thus, we can say that maximum the area minimum will be the pressure exerted by the table. So in order to find the minimum pressure calculate the maximum area by using different combination as follows
A1 = Width x length = 6cm x 8 cm = 48cm^2
A2 = Width x height = 6cm x 6 cm = 36 cm^2
A3 = length x height = 6cm x 8 cm = 48cm^2
As A1 and A3 are same so the both will exert same pressure.
A2 = 0.06m X 0.08m = 0.0048m^2
Now calculate the pressure
Pressure = Force / Area = 6 N / 0.0048m^2
Pressure = 1250 N/m^2
Answer:
1250 N/m 2
Explanation:
The block should be placed in such a way that the side with the minimum surface area is in contact with the surface
Area= L*W
=8/100m * 6/100m
=48/10000 m 2= 0.0048 m 2
weight of the block F=6N
Pressure= Force/area
6/0.0048
=1250 N/m2
Glad it helped you :) plz mark as you wish. have a good day :)
