Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the

ground. Its dimensions are 0.400 m x 0.250 m x 0.130 m. A number of identical blocks are stacked on top of this one. What is the smallest number of whole bricks (including the one on the ground) that can be stacked so that their weight creates a pressure of at least two atmospheres on the ground beneath the first block

Answer:

The value is }  N  =  66 \  blocks

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is W_b  = 100 \  N

The dimension of the block is d =  0.400 m  \ X  \ 0.250 \  m  \  X  \ 0.130 \ m

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

P_{2atm} =  2 *  1.013 *10^{5} =  202600 \  N/m^2

Generally 1 atm = 1.013 *10^{5} N/m^2

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

So

A =  0.250 *  0.130

=> A =  0.0325 \  m^2

Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

F =  N  *  W_b

Here N is the number of blocks

So

}  202600 =  \frac{N  *  100 }{ 0.0325}

=>   }  N  =  66 \  blocks

maxonik [38]

Answer: 25.08\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of wagon m=5 kg

elevation

\theta =30.9^{\circ}\\F=150\ N

Sin component of weight will oppose the applied force therefore we can write

F-W\sin \theta=ma\\where\\W=weight(mg)\\a=acceleration

150-5\times 9.8\times \sin (30.09)^{\circ}=5\times a\\125.43=5a\\a=25.08\ m/s^2

penguins! so momentum is based on mass and velocity, the advantages is that they have stored mass in the form of like fats to keep them warm however they are built to slide basically so that there is less friction when they travel so sideways their bullet like shape helps increase velocity so they have both mass and considerable velocity!
