About how much pressure do the feet of a 6000 kg elephant exert on the ground? assume each foot has an area of 0.10 square meter.

i already know the answer but i was just wondering, is the weight of the elephant (6000kg) the force? or would i need to find the force through an equation

Approximately 1.5 × 10⁵ Pa.

Explanation:

In simple words, pressure is the normal force per unit area:  

,

where

What will be the size of the normal force?

Weight of the elephant, which is the same as the gravitational pull on the elephant, will be:

,

where

The elephant stands on solid ground. It's not accelerating upward or downward. Forces on the elephant are balanced. As a result, the size of the normal force on the elephant will be the same as that of the earth's gravitational pull on the elephant (not the case in an accelerating elevator.)

.

Each elephant got four feet. The area of each foot is . The total contact area will be .

Apply the formula. Make sure both the normal force and the contact area are in SI units:

If that's the case, the pressure result will be in the unit newtons per square meters or equivalently, Pascals .

.

i think it's 35 meters

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
