Question

A brick delivery truck parks on a roadside scale that measures 4 m by 6 m. If the brick truck weighs 60 000 N, what pressure does the scale put on the spring below?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length × Breadth

A = 4 × 6

A = 24m square/ 24m sq.

Force = Pressure × Area

Force = 60,000 N/ 60,000 Newton

Pressure = Force/ Area

P = 60,000/24

P = 2500 Pa
