Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by the elephant (24000 Newtons) on the ground, assuming that
the total area of its feet is 0.8 m2.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3000 Pa

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the elephant can be found by using the formula

$p = \frac{f}{a}$

f is the force

a is the area

From the question we have

$p = \frac{2400}{0.8}$

We have the final answer as

3000 Pa
