Question

if stone weighs 600N calculate the pressure exerted by it if it makes a contact with a surface of area 30cm square

Answer 1

600n÷30cm= final answer is 20

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of pressure exerted by the stone is 20N.

Explanation:

We are given that the stone of the body has a weight of 600 Newton that is it exerts 600 Newton of force on earth.

Now we know that pressure is calculated by knowing the force that is being exerted by a certain body on a unit area.

Near the area of the Square in which force is applied is given as 30 cm.

When this force is divided by area we get pressure equal to,

$=\frac{600}{30}$

=20N

Result:

The pressure that exerted by the stone is 20N.
