Question

An elephant weighs 40,000 newtons. Each of its four feet has an area of 500cm^2. Of the elephant stands on one foot, what pressure does it put on the ground?

Answer 1

Pressure :- Force/area

= 40000n/125cm²

=40000n×10⁴/125cm²

=3.2×10⁶ Pascal

Answer 2

`\large\boxed{\sf Pressure = 3.2* 10^6\ Pa }`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it is given that a elephant weighs 40,000 N and the area of its 4 feet is 500cm² . We need to find out what pressure will it exert if it stands on one foot .

Since area of 4 feet was 500cm² ,

Then the area of 1 foot will be 500cm²/4 = 125cm² .

Now , as we know that ;

`\sf\qquad\longrightarrow \Bigg\lgroup Pressure =(Force)/(Area)\Bigg\rgroup\\\\`

☯️
`\underline{\underline{\boldsymbol{ On \ substituting \ the \ respective \ values \ }}}`

`\sf\qquad\longrightarrow Pressure =(Force)/(Area)\\\\`

`\sf\qquad\longrightarrow Pressure =(40,000\ N )/(125cm^2)\\\\`

`\sf\qquad\longrightarrow Pressure =( 40,000\ N * 10^4)/(125m^2)\\\\`

`\sf\qquad\longrightarrow \boxed{\pink{\frak{ Pressure = 3.2* 10^6 \ Pascal }}}`
