A tractor weighing 10 tons has a track support area of 2.5 m2. Determine the pressure exerted by this tractor on the ground.
To find the pressure exerted on the soil by a given tractor, we apply the formula: P = Ftyazh / S = m * g / S.
Variables and constants: m is the mass of a given tractor (m = 10 t = 10 ^ 4 kg); g – acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 9.8 m / s2); S – tractor support area (S = 2.5 m2).
Calculation: P = m * g / S = 10 ^ 4 * 9.8 / 2.5 = 3.92 * 10 ^ 4 Pa = 39.2 kPa.
Answer: A pressure of 39.2 kPa is produced on the soil.
