QuestionA GOLD RECTANGULAR SOLID HAS A DIMENSION OF 8 IN BY 6 IN. IT WEIGHS 250 POUNDS. WHAT IS THE PRESSURE THE SOLID EXERTS ON THE FLOOR BY THE SOLID? EXPRESS YOUR ANSWER IN PASCALS.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the pressure in Pascals.
Pressure is defined as force per unit area: Pressure=ForceArea=1112.055 Newtons0.03098848 square meters \text{Pressure} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{1112.055 \text{ Newtons}}{0.03098848 \text{ square meters}}
Calculate the pressure: Pressure35884.3 Pascals \text{Pressure} \approx 35884.3 \text{ Pascals}
The pressure exerted by the solid on the floor is approximately: 35884.3 Pascals \boxed{35884.3} \text{ Pascals}
