A cauboid of volume `20 mxx 10 m xx 5m` has density `3 kg m^(-3)` .Find the maximum pressure exerted by cuboid on the surface .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
600 Pa

Density = 3 `"kgm"^(-3)`
Volume of cuboid `=lxxbxxh=20xx10xx5=10^(3)m^(2)`
Mass of cuboid = Density `xx` Volume
`=3xx10^(3)" kg"`
Weight of cuboid
`=mg=3xx10^(4)N`
`A_(1)=200" m"^(2),A_(2)=50" m"^(2)`,
`A_(3)=100" m"^(2)`
Pressure `prop(1)/("Area")` that means the position of cuboid to give maximum bottom pressure is
`P=(3xx10^(4))/(50)=0.6xx10^(3)=600" Pa"`
