Question

A 3.50 m -tall, 50.0 cm -diameter concrete column supports a 5.00 x 10^5 kg load. Part A : By how much is the column compressed?

Answer 1

The column compressed is 57.142 Pa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height = 3.50 m

Diameter = 50.0 cm

Radius = 25.0 cm

Load
`F=5.00*10^(5)\ kg`

We need to calculate the column compressed

Using formula of compressed

`P = (F)/(A)`

`P=(F)/(l* r)`

Where, F = load

l = length

r = radius

Put the value into the formula

`P=(5.00*10^(5))/(3.50*25*10^(2))`

`P=57.142\ Pa`

Hence, The column compressed is 57.142 Pa.
