Question

Solve this numerical

A motorcycle weighs 1200N.If the pressure exerted by one of its tyres is 120Pa,then find the area of the tyre in contact with the road

Answer 1

pressure is given as force per unit area.

$p = f \div a$
therefore the total pressure exerted by all the two tyres is 120x2=240
now the total area in contact will be given by a=force÷pressure

a=1200N/240Pa
a=5m^2
area of each tyre is 2.5m^2

Answer 2

Answer:10 m^2

Explanation:

Weight=1200N

Pressure=120pa

Area=1200÷120

=10m^2
