An asian elephant has a weight of 52,900 newtons. this enormous weight is balanced on four feet. in a circus act, these elephants often balance on one foot. the average surface area of a foot pad is 2,920 cm2. what pressure is experienced at the food pad if an elephant balances all its weight on one foot?

The pressure experienced at the food pad is

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the amount of force exerted per unit area of surface.

Mathematically,

We are given:

Pressure experienced at the food pad = ?

Force exerted / Weight of the box = 52,900 N

Area of the box =

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the pressure experienced at the food pad is

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
