An external force of 20 N acts normally ...

An external force of 20 N acts normally on a rectangular plate of length 20 cm and breadth 10 cm. What is the maximum stress produced in the plate ?

A

`100N//m^(2)`

B

`500 N//m^(2)`

C

`1000N//m^(2)`

D

`2000N//m^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Stress `= (F)/(A) = (20)/(20 xx 10 xx 10^(-4)) = 1000 N//m^(2)`
