Answer:
[tex]P=3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a brick, m = 3.1 kg
The dimensions of the brick 225 m x 112 m x 75 m
We need to find the maximum pressure created by the brick. We know that, the force acting per unit area is called pressure exerted. It is given by the formula as follows :
[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{A}[/tex]
F = mg
A = area with minimum dimensions i.e. 112 m x 75 m
Pressure is maximum when the area is least.
So,
[tex]P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{3.1\times 9.8}{112\times 75}\\\\P=3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa[/tex]
So, the maximum pressure created by brick is [tex]3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa[/tex].
