An elephant having mass of 300kg is standing on a concrete bridge of length 8m and breadth 4m. Calculate the pressure exerted by the elephant on the bridge. Given, acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s |

Answer» given: m = 300 kg, G = 9.8 m/sec², L = 8m, B = 4m to FIND pressure exerted by the elephant pressure = force/area force = m × a or m × g f = 300 × 9.8 = 2940N area = 8 × 4 = 32 m² therefore P = 2940/32 => P = 91.875 N/m² |
