Question

Mass of a brick is 2.5 kg. Find the pressure the brick exerts on the ground if it is resting on 10 cm* 5 cm base.

Answer 1

Answer:area= 50cm^2

Force =mass*acceleration due to gratity

Pressure =F/A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

mass is 2.5kg

surface area is 0.005m^2

convert kg into grams

mass 2500 grams

pressure is equal to force per unit area

force is

equals mass into gravitational force

2.5*9.8

24.5 Newton

pressure=24.5/0.005

4900 Newton
