Question

the elephant weighs 20,000 n stands on one foot of area 1000 cm square how much pressure would it exert on the ground

Answer 1

1000cm*2

= 1000/100

=10m*2

P=F/A

=20000/10

=2000pascal

Answer 2

Given :-

• Force (F) = 20000 N
• Area (A) = 1000cm²

To find :-

• Pressure

Solution :-

• 1 m² = 10000cm²
• Area = 0.1 m²

As we know that

→ Pressure = Force/Area

→ Pressure = 20,000/0.1

→ Pressure = 200000 N/m²

Hence,

• Pressure would it exert on the ground is 200000 N/m²

Extra Information :-

• S.I unit of Pressure is N/m²(Pascal)
• 1000m = 1km
• 1m = 100cm
• S.I unit of Force is Newton (N)
• S.I unit of Area is m²
