Question

a company makes garden statues by pouring concrete into a mold. the amount of concrete used to make a statue of a deer weighs 3600 N. if the base of the deer statue is 0.60 meters long and 0.40 meters wide, how much pressure will the statue exert on the ground

Answer 1

Pressure exerted by statue =
`15 kN/m^(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the statue (F)= 3600 N

Area of the base of statue(A) = Length of the base x Width of the base

=0.6 m x 0.4 m =0.24 m

Pressure is defined as force per unit area.

`Hence,\ pressure\ by\ statue= (Force(F))/(Area(A))=(3600)/(0.24) = 15000\ N/m^(2)`

Pressure exerted by statue = 15000
`N/m^(2) = 15 kN/m^(2)`
