Question

Which will exert more pressure 100kg mass on 10 sq m or 50 kg on
4sq m Give reason?

Nashita Rahman · Accepted Answer

pressure is defined as force per unit area Therefore, pressure
=force/area
Mass of object 1 =100 kg
Acceleration due 2 gravity = 10 m/s square
Force = mass x acceleration = 100 x 10 = 1000 N Therefore,
pressure exerted by object 1 = 1000N /
10 sq m = 100 pascal
Mass of object 2 = 50 kg Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s
square
Force = 50 x 10 = 500 N Pressure exerted by object 2 = 500 N/ 4
m sq = 125 pascal
Therefore, 50 kg on 4 sq m will exert more pressure
