Question

The surface area of the base of brick X is 100 cm square. the surface area of the base of the brick Y is 250 cm square. Each brick weighs 100 N. Which of the following is correct if P1 and P2 are the pressures exerted by the bricks X and Y respectively *
1 point
A) P1=P2
B) P1>P2
C) P1<P2
D) P1=P2=0​

Answer 1

Answer:

P1 = 100/100 = 1pa

P2 = 100/250 = 0.4pa

therefore,

P1 is greater than P2
