A block, resting on the ground, has the dimensions as shown in the diagram. The face which experiences the smallest stress, when the block rests on that face is

A

face C

B

face A

C

face B

D

all the faces experience the same stress.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The areas of the faces, `A_(A) gt A_(C) gt A_(B)` , and the stress on a face is equal to the weight of the block divided by the area of the face
