MCQ 401 Mark
A rectangular wooden block has length, breadth and height of $50\ cm, 25\ cm$ and $10\ cm,$ respectively. This wooden block is kept on ground in three different ways, turn by turn. Which of the following is the correct statement about the pressure exerted by this block on the ground?
  • A
    The maximum pressure is exerted when the length and breadth form the base.
  • B
    The maximum pressure is exerted when length and height form the base.
  • The maximum pressure is exerted when breadth and height form the base.
  • D
    The minimum pressure is exerted when length and height form the base.
Answer
Correct option: C.
The maximum pressure is exerted when breadth and height form the base.
As we know that pressure exerted by the body is inversely proportional to the area where force is applied.
So, which has less area of cross section in contact with the surface will exert more pressure on the ground.
It is clear that height from the base exerts more pressure.
Therefore, the maximum pressure is exerted when length and height form the base.
