Question

A solid body weighs 30 kg. When placed on the floor, the area of contact is found to be 15 m2 . Find the pressure exerted by the solid body on the floor.

pls answer i need the answer quick

Answer 1

• Mass=30kg
• Acceleration=10m/s^2

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=ma$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=30(10)=300N$

• Area=15m^2

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{300}{15}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=20Pa$
