Estimate the pressure exerted on a floor by the following.
(a) one pointed chair leg (51 kg on all four legs) of area = 0.03 cm2
(b) a 1550 kg elephant standing on one foot (area = 820 cm2)
PLEASE help with physics pressure problem!?
Hi Dear;I think:
(a)P=F\A
F=W=mg
W=51x9.8=499.8 N
A=0.03 cm^2=0.03x10^-4 m^2
P=499.8\0.03x10^-4=166600000 Pa
P=1666 atm
.................................
(b)W=1550x9.8=15190 N
A=820 cm^2=8.2x10^-2 m^2
P=15190\8.2x10^-2=185243.9 Pa
P=1.852439 atm
..................................
Hope you Bests!!!
