A solid body weighting 100N and having a base area of 2m is placed on the ground.Find the pressure exerted by the solid body on the ground.
pressure is force/area
so P=100/2= 50 Pa
To find the pressure exerted by the solid body on the ground, we can use the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
Here, the force exerted by the solid body is its weight, which is given as 100N. The base area is given as 2m².
Substituting these values into the formula:
Pressure = 100N / 2m²
Pressure = 50 N/m²
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the solid body on the ground is 50 N/m².
