A wooden block of mass 10 Kg is kept on the top of a table. The dimensions of the block are 40 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm. The pressure exerted by the wooden block from the side of 20 cm × 40 cm is 1220 N/m2.Given that, Mass of block (m) = 10 kgWeight of the block, W = m × g ⇒W= 10 × 9.8 ⇒W= 98 NDimension of block from the side of pressure 20 cm × 40 cmArea = 20 cm × 40 cmArea = 800 cm2 Area= 800 × 10-4 m2Thrust on the table is due to the weight of the wooden block.Thrust on the table = weight of the block Thrust on the table= 98 NThe thrust also known as force acting on one unit area is called pressure. The relation between them is given below.Pressure=ThrustArea ⇒Pressure=ForceAreaOn putting all the values in above relation. Pressure will be.P= FA⇒P=98 800 × 10-4⇒P= 1220 N/m2
