A lathe weighing 300 kilograms rests on the foundation with four legs Determine the pressure of the glass on the foundation if the area of each leg is 50 cm2

To find the pressure that the considered lathe creates on the foundation, we will use the formula: P = Fт / S = m * g / (n * S1).

Constants and variables: m – machine weight (m = 300 kg); g – acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 10 m / s2); n – the number of legs at the machine (n = 4 pcs); S1 is the area of each leg (S1 = 50 cm2 = 50 * 10 ^ -4 m2).

Calculation: P = m * g / (n * S1) = 300 * 10 / (4 * 50 * 10 ^ -4) = 150 kPa (150 * 10 ^ 3 Pa).

Answer: A pressure of 150 kPa is generated on the foundation from the lathe side.
