Question

The force exerted by an elephant is 20000N.The area of its one foot is 1000cmsquare.Find the pressure exerted by elephant on the ground.

Answer 1

$\blue{HEY\:BUDDY!!}$

HERE'S THE ANSWER..

_____________________________

♠️ As we know Pressure is force per unit area , i.e

✔️ Pressure = Force / Area

⏺️Force = 20,000

⏺️As we know elephant has 4 legs , so the total area will be

=> Area = 1000 cm^2 = 0.1 m^2 , Total area = 0.1 × 4 = 0.4 m^2

=> Pressure = Force / Area

=> Pressure = 20,000 / 0.4

✔️$\boxed{ Pressure \:= \:50,000 \:Pascal(Pa)}$

Answer 2

Here is your answer
_______________________________
Force exerted by elephant, F= 20,000N

Area of one foot of elephant = 1000cm^2
= 1000/ 100×100m^2
=0.1 m^2

Total area over which force is exerted= 4× 0.1m^2. (since elephant has 4 feet)

Now. we know that Pressure= Force/Area
= 20,000/0.4 Pascal
= 50,000 Pa
So,
Pressure exerted by elephant on the ground is 50,000 Pa
