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

Answer :

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]
