Question

If The dimensions of a brick that weighs 25N are 0.19m x 0.07m x 0.095m. What pressure does the brick exert on the ground if it is resting on its largest face?

Answer 1

1 newton per square meter = 1 pascal of pressure.

The largest face of the brick is (0.19 x 0.095) = .01805 square meter

25N/0.01805 = 1,385 newtons per square meter = 1,385 pascal = 1.385 kPa
