4. A block of copper of density 8.9 g/cm² measures 5 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm.
Given that the force of gravity is 10 Nkg !, determine:
(a) the maximum pressure.
(b) the minimum pressure that it can exert on a horizontal surface​

b. latent learning (the word "latent" itself means something that exists but isn't obvious, only under certain conditions! )

the temperature in kelvin of 2.0 dm3 of an ideal gas is doubled and its pressure is increased by a factor of four. what is the final volume of the gas

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
