calculate the ground pressure of a 90kg gas cylinder the diameter of the cylinder is 1.1 m

Respuesta :

Answer:

P = 928.09 Pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a gas cylinder, m = 90 kg

The diameter of the cylinder, d = 1.1 m

Radius, r = 0.55 m

We need to find the ground pressure. The pressure is equal to force per unit area. So,

[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{\pi r^2}\ (A\ is\ area\ of\ base)\\\\P=\dfrac{90\times 9.8}{\pi \times (0.55)^2}\\\\P=928.09\ Pa[/tex]

So, the ground pressure is 928.09 Pa.
