Question

Calculate the ground pressure of a 90kg gas cylinder the diameter of the cylinder is 1.1 m

Answer 1

P = 928.09 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a gas cylinder, m = 90 kg

The diameter of the cylinder, d = 1.1 m

Radius, r = 0.55 m

We need to find the ground pressure. The pressure is equal to force per unit area. So,

`P=(F)/(A)\\\\P=(mg)/(\pi r^2)\ (A\ is\ area\ of\ base)\\\\P=(90* 9.8)/(\pi * (0.55)^2)\\\\P=928.09\ Pa`

So, the ground pressure is 928.09 Pa.
