| Answer» Mass of the wooden block = m= 5 kgdimensions = 40 cm × 20 cm × 10 cmthe weight of the wooden block applies a thrust on the table top.That is,Thrust = F = mg= 5 kg × 9.8 m/s²= 49 N Area of a side = length × breadth = 20 cm × 10 cm = 200 cm² = 0.02 m² Pressure = thrust/ areaPressure = 49 /0.02= 2450 N/m² The same thrust in implied when it lies on the given dimension.Area= length × breadth= 40 × 20= 800= 0.08 m² Pressure = 49/0.08= 612.5Pa | |
