Explanation:
Solution :
Here Mass of wooden block m= 4kg <br> Acceleration dur to gravity ,
<br> Weight of wooden block
<br>
<br> =40 N <br> since weight is a force,so we can say that the force excerted by the wooden block on the table top is 40 N .We will now calculate the pressure in the two cases. <br> width="80%"> <br> (a) In the first case : Force = 40 N (Calculated above) <br>
<br>
<br> Now Pressure
(or 320) <br> Thus the pressure exerted by the wooden block on table top when kept on its face measuring
is 320
of 320 pascals (see Figure 44) <br> (b) In the second case : Force = 40 N (Same as above) <br> Area
<br>
<br>
(or 1600) <br> Thus the pressure exerted by the wooden block on table top when kept on its face measuring
is 1600 N
Answer:
2.8 Pa
Explanation:
Weight = Force exerted = 14 kgf = 14 N
Cross-sectional area = 5 m^2
So, Presseure exerted = Force / Area = 14/5 = 2.8 Nm/s^2 = 2.8 Pa (Pascal)
