Answer: 1,50,000 N/m^2
Explanation: Given data
Area of one foot = 0.1m^2
so the area of the 4 feet of elephant= 4×0.1 = 0.4m^2
Weight of elephant or the Force exerted by elephant on the ground = 60000N
As we know that Pressure = Force/Area
so, Evaluating the calculated data
Pressure = 60000/0.4 = 1,50,000 N/m^2
