Two rods each of area 20 cm support a body of mass 50 kg. What will be the pressure, sustained by the rods ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We are given: - M = 50 kg , Total area, `A=2xx20cm^(2)=40xx10^(-4)m^(2),g=10ms^(-1)`
We are to calculate: pressure, P
Using relation. `P=(F)/(A)=(mg)/(A)` We get `P=(50xx10)/(40xx10^(-4))=1.25xx10^(5)Nm^(-2)`
