Question

A piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.

Answer 1

4000pascal

Explanation:preassure = force/area

F = 400N

A = 50cmx 20cm = 1000 cm sq

so we have to convert the area in metre square

so when convert we get the answer 1/10 = 0.1m square

now as per the equation of preassure we have to divide 0.1/400

and then we get the answer 4000pascal.

Answer 2

4kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

P = force/area

= 400/(0.5×0.2)

= 4000Pa(4kPa)
