Pressure

Answer all thequestions

1) A Wooden block measuring 0.2m by 0.4m by 0.5m weighs 20N. The


block is placed on a flat table surface on the side 0.2m by 0.5m. Find
the pressure it produces on a flat table surface?

2) A man weighs 800N. The area of BOTH of his boots is 0.08m2. What
pressure does he place on the ground when he stands still?

3) A woman weighs 500N. The area of ONE of her stiletto heels is


0.0002m2. What pressure does she place on the ground when she puts
her weight onto one heel?

4) The density of water is 1,000 kg/m3. Calculate the pressure exerted by the
water on the bottom of a 2.0 m deep swimming pool. (Gravitational field
strength = 10 N/kg).

5) The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Calculate the pressure at the bottom
of a dam 12 m deep. (Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg).

6) Two divers A and B are in water at depths of 20m and 25 m respectively.


What is the pressure difference between them? Density of water is 1000
kg/m3 and gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
