Question

One piece of wood has a rectangular bottom that is 30 cm long and 56 mm wide. The block is said to weigh 80 N. Calculate the pressure that the block exerts on the surface

Answer 1

Answer:

4762 N/m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find area.

30x5.6=168

Convert to m^2

168cm^2=0.0168m^2

Use pressure formula to get answer

P=F/A

P=80/0.0168

P=4762 N/m^2
