Calculate the pressure exerted by a 4000N camel on the sand. The camel’s feet have a
surface area of 2m2
.

Sagot :

Answer:

The pressure exerted by camel feet is 2000 N/m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Here, we have given that ;

  • Force applied on camel feet = 4000 N
  • Total area of camel feet = 2 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

As we know that :

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{Area}{Force}}}}}[/tex]

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

[tex] \begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{Area}{Force}}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{4000}{2}}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \cancel{\dfrac{4000}{2}}}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^{2}}}} \\ \\\star \: \small\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^{2}}}}} \end{array}\end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the pressure exerted by camel feet is 2000 N/m².
