The average standard rectangular building brick has a mass of 3.10 kg and dimensions of 225 m x 112 m x 75 m. The gravitational field constant g = 9.8 N/kg. Calculate the maximum pressure created by brick

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a brick, m = 3.1 kg

The dimensions of the brick 225 m x 112 m x 75 m

We need to find the maximum pressure created by the brick. We know that, the force acting per unit area is called pressure exerted. It is given by the formula as follows :

F = mg

A = area with minimum dimensions i.e. 112 m x 75 m

Pressure is maximum when the area is least.

So,

So, the maximum pressure created by brick is .
