Answer:
The answer is 180 Pa.
Explanation:
<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>
Here, weight = thrust = 900 N,
dimensions are 2.5 m × 2 m × 1.2 m
<h3><u>To </u><u>Find</u>;</h3>
- Pressure exerted by the block on the surface of its support.
<h3><u>Formula</u>;</h3>
We know that, Pressure is inversely proportional to area. For the minimum pressure the area must be more.
So, if the block is resting with 2.5 m × 2 m surface on the support, the pressure will be minimum.
Pressure = 900 N ÷ 2.5 × 2.0 m² = 180 Pa
Thus, The pressure exerted by the block on the support is 180 Pa.
