Question

You are holding a block of wood with dimensions 3 cm x 6 cm x 9 cm on the palm of your hand. Which side must be touching your hand for you to experience the greatest force?

A. 3 cm x 6 cm side
B. 6 cm x 9 cm side
C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.
D. 9 cm x 3 cm side

Answer 1

Force has a formula of F = m * a

mass involves kg

acceleration involves m/s^2 where m is in meters and s is time.

Neither involves area of any kind.

The answer is C. The dimensions don't matter at all. It could be paper thin and many cm wide and long and C would still be the answer.

so i agree with

this person
