2) The weight of tank is 50 000 kg, area of his belts is 5 m2. What pressure acts on the ground?
To calculate the pressure exerted on the ground by the tank, we need to use the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
First, we need to calculate the force exerted by the tank. The force is equal to the weight of the tank, which is given as 50,000 kg. To find the force, we can use the formula:
Force = Mass * Acceleration due to gravity
The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s².
Force = 50,000 kg * 9.8 m/s²
Calculating the force, we get:
Force = 490,000 N (Newtons)
Now, we can calculate the pressure:
Pressure = Force / Area
Pressure = 490,000 N / 5 m²
Calculating the pressure, we get:
Pressure = 98,000 Pa (Pascals)
Therefore, the pressure exerted on the ground by the tank is 98,000 Pascals.
