Answer to Question #121360 in Physics for moha

Question

a block measures mass 50 cm by 20 cm by 5 cm and has a mass of 200 g , calculate the maximum and minimum pressure

Answer 1

$$P_{max}=\frac{mg}{bc}=\frac{(0.2)(9.8)}{(0.2)(0.05)}=200\ Pa$$

$$P_{min}=\frac{mg}{ba}=\frac{(0.2)(9.8)}{(0.2)(0.5)}=20\ Pa$$
