a company makes garden statues by pouring concrete into a mold. the amount of concrete used to make a statue of a deer weighs 3600 N. if the base of the deer statue is 0.60 meters long and 0.40 meters wide, how much pressure will the statue exert on the ground

Relax

Respuesta :

Answer:

Pressure exerted by statue = [tex]15 kN/m^{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Weight of the statue (F)= 3600 N

Area of the base of statue(A) = Length of the base x Width of the base

                                              =0.6 m x 0.4 m =0.24 m

Pressure is defined as  force per unit area.

[tex]Hence,\ pressure\ by\ statue= \frac{Force(F)}{Area(A)}=\frac{3600}{0.24} = 15000\ N/m^{2}[/tex]

Pressure exerted by statue = 15000 [tex]N/m^{2} = 15 kN/m^{2}[/tex]
