An elephant of mass 500kg stands with all feet on the ground. each foot has an area of 0.08m calculate the pressure exerted onthe ground (g 10ms)
Your school SUBJECT is probably math or physics.
pressure=weightonEachFoot/areafoot
=.25*500*9,8 N/.08m^2=12.5*.25*500*9.8 P
an elephant has amass of 3200kg.each of its feet covers an area equal to 0.08m^2.calculate the pressure from each foot?
To calculate the pressure exerted by the elephant on the ground, we can use the formula:
Pressure = Force/Area
First, we need to determine the force with which the elephant is pressing down on the ground. This force is equal to the weight of the elephant.
Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Weight = 500 kg * 10 m/s^2 = 5000 N
Now, since the elephant is standing with all four feet on the ground, the total area in contact with the ground is the sum of the areas of all four feet.
Total Area = 4 * Area of One Foot = 4 * 0.08 m^2 = 0.32 m^2
Finally, we can plug these values into the pressure formula:
Pressure = 5000 N / 0.32 m^2 = 15625 Pa
Therefore, the pressure exerted on the ground by the elephant is 15625 Pascal (Pa).
