A regular concrete block of mass 100kg has dimensions 200cm x 100cm x 50cm. Calculate the greatest possible pressure the block will exert on the ground.

Greatest pressure on the ground is 1962 Pa

Explanation:

As we know that pressure is ratio of force and area

so we can write its equation as

now here we need to find the greatest pressure on the ground

here force is due weight of the object and area must be minimum in contact with the ground

F = mg

Now minimum area of contact with the ground is

now maximum pressure is given as

neither accurate nor precise.
