Question

the elephant weighs 20,000 n stands on one foot of area 1000 cm square how much pressure would it exert on the ground​

Answer 1

Given :-

• Force (F) = 20000 N
• Area (A) = 1000cm²

To find :-

• Pressure

Solution :-

• 1 m² = 10000cm²
• Area = 0.1 m²

As we know that,

Pressure = Force/Area

Pressure = 20,000/0.1

Pressure = 200000 N/m²

Hence,

Pressure would it exert on the ground is 200000 N/m²

Extra Information :-

• S.I unit of Pressure is N/m²(Pascal)
• 1000m = 1km
• 1m = 100cm
• S.I unit of Force is Newton
• S.I unit of Area is m²

Answer 2

Given:

• 
  `F = 20000 \: N`
• 
  `A = 1000 \: {cm}^(2)`

To find:

How much pressure it would exert on the ground.

Solution:

`(1000)/(100 * 100) \: {m}^(2)`

`= 0.1 \: {m}^(2)`

`P = (F)/(A)`

`P = \frac{20000 \: N}{0.1 \: {m}^(2) }`

`\large\boxed{\sf{P = 200000N /m^2}}`

Hence, the pressure exerted on the ground is
`200000 \: N /m^2`
