Question

force exerted by a truck is 500000N and the pressure on the ground is 250000Pa .calculate the area of contact of tyres with ground

Answer 1

Hi...!!!

Pressure exerted = 250000 Pa .

Force = 500000 N .

We know , pressure = force ÷ area , Thus , area = force ÷ pressure = 500000/250000 = 2.00 m²

Hence, area of contact = 2.00 m².

Answer 2

Hey mate!!

Here's your answer!!

As we know;
$Pressure \: = \: \frac{Force}{Area}$

Here, we have that:
Force = 500000 N
Pressure = 250000 Pa

Putting the values in the formula, we get;
$250000 = \frac{500000}{A} \\ \\A = \frac{500000}{250000} \\ \\ area = 2$

Therefore, the answer is:
$2 {m}^{2}$

Hope it helps!!
