Question

what is the pressure exerted on the ground by an object that has a weight of 50N and a surface area in contact with the ground of 1 cm2?

Answer 1

Explanation:

P=F/A

given area is 20 cm2 convert to m2 1m 100 cm 1m2 = 10000cm2 1cm2 = 1/10000 m2 area = 20/10000 m2 P = 2.5 x 10power(4) pa

20*10power (-4) P = 50/20 *10power(-4)

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

pressure= 50/ (1x 10^-4)  (pressure= force/area)

pressure= 50 x 10^4

pressure = 5x 10^5 pascals
