Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by a 4000N camel on the sand. The camel’s feet have a

surface area of 2m2
.

Answer 1

The pressure exerted by camel feet is 2000 N/m².

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Here, we have given that ;

• Force applied on camel feet = 4000 N
• Total area of camel feet = 2 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

As we know that :

`{\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{Pressure= (Area)/(Force)}}}}`

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

`\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= (Area)/(Force)}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= (4000)/(2)}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \cancel{(4000)/(2)}}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^(2)}}} \\ \\\star \: \small\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^(2)}}}} \end{array}\end{gathered}`

Hence, the pressure exerted by camel feet is 2000 N/m².
