Question

. Which will exert more pressure on the surface of water and by how much: A boy weighing 70 kg on a boat of base area 10 m^2 or by a 50 tonne cargo on a ship of base area 10,000 m^2? (1 kgf = 10 N) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) weight = 70

area = 10m²

pressure = 70/10

= 7P

ii) weight = 50Ton or 50000 kg

area = 10000m²

pressure = 50000/10000

= 5P

therefore, the first option exerts more pressure on the surface of the water .

hope it will help :)
