Answer:

Pressure is inversely proportional to the area.

As we know the area covered by elephant legs is more so less pressure is exerted but in case of pointed shoe the area covered is less so more pressure is exerted.

A piece of steel is 11.5cm long at 22C. It is heated to 1221C, close to its melting point. How long is it, in cm, at the high te

Answer:

The length at the final temperature is 11.7 cm.

Explanation:

We need to use the thermal expansion equation:

$\Delta L=\alpha L_{0}\Delta T$

Where:

L(0) is the initial length
ΔT is the differential temperature, final temperature minus initial temperature (T(f)-T(0))
ΔL is the final length minus the initial length (L(f)-L(0))
α is the coefficient of linear expantion of steel (12.5*10⁻⁶ 1/°C)

So, we have:

$L_{f}-L_{0}=\alpha L_{0}(T_{f}-T_{0})$
