A brick 25cm long ,9cm wide 5cm thick has a mass of 1000g determine the greatest pressure that can be exerted by the brick on a flat surface

The greatest pressure is 2178 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure

It's the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which the force is distributed.

If F is the force applied and A is the surface area, the pressure is calculated as:

The brick has dimensions of 25 cm by 9 cm by 5 cm. There are three possible areas of contact:

The  brick has a mass of m=1000 g = 1 Kg and exerts a force equal to its weight when placed on a flat surface, thus:

F = m.g = 1 * 9.8 = 9.8 N

The greatest possible pressure will occur when the area is the least possible , since the pressure and the area are inversely proportional, thus:

The greatest pressure is 2178 Pa

explanation:

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
