Pressure - class 8 (ICSE)
A brick is kept in three different ways on a table as shown in given figure. The pressure exerted by the brick on the table will be ________ at position 1 (the leftmost position)
minimum
Calculate the pressure exerted by the brick in the 2nd position if the weight of the block is 10N.
2000 Pa or 2 kPa
The pressure exerted by a red block is 10 Pa while the pressure exerted by a blue block is 4 Pa. If the number of blocks is doubled, what is the total pressure exerted? Explain your answer with reasons.
The pressure will double as the force is doubled but the area remains constant.
