Question

A car of weight 6,400 N has four wheels. Each wheel has an area of
80 cm-touching the road. Find the pressure the car puts on the
ground. I​

Answer 1

Answer:

80N/cm^2

Explanation:

Given data

A car of weight 6,400N

Area= 80cm^2

The weight is distributed evenly on the 4 wheels

hence 6400/4

=1600 N

We know that

Pressure = force/Area

Pressure= 1600/80

Pressure= 20 N/cm^2

For the four wheels, the pressure is

=20*4

=80N/cm^2
