How much pressure does the glue put on the iron clip on the bottom of the can?
How much pressure does the glue put on the iron clip on the bottom of the can? The density of the glue is 1500 kg / m3. Can height 8 cm
Given:
ro = 1500 kilograms per cubic meter – the density of the glue;
h = 8 centimeters – the height (depth) of the can.
It is required to determine P (Pascal) – how much pressure the glue exerts on the paper clip, which is located at the bottom of the can.
We translate the units of measurement of length into the SI system:
h = 8 centimeters = 8 * 10-2 = 8/100 = 0.08 meters.
To determine the pressure of the adhesive on a paper clip, you need to use the following formula:
P = ro * h * g (where g = 10 Newton / kilogram, approximate value).
P = 1500 * 0.08 * 10;
P = 1500 * 0.8;
P = 1200 Pascal (1.2 kPa).
Answer: The glue exerts a pressure of 1200 Pascal (1.2 kPa) on the paper clip.
