A load weighing 20,000 N is placed on a side with area `1000 "cm"^2`. How much pressure would it exert on the ground?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the pressure exerted by a load on the ground, we can use the formula for pressure: \[ \text{Pressure} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} \] **Step 1: Identify the given values.** - The force (weight of the load) is given as \( 20,000 \, \text{N} \). - The area is given as \( 1000 \, \text{cm}^2 \). ...
