The mass of the car is 1.5 tons. What is the pressure exerted by the car on the road if the area of each wheel is 125 cm2.

Let us assume by default that this is a four-wheeled vehicle.

Let us determine what value the total area of its contact with the road will be, because from the condition of our problem we know for sure that the area of contact of each wheel is 125 cm2:

4 * 125 = 500.

Let us determine what value the pressure of this car on the road will be, because from the condition of our problem we know for sure that its mass is 1.5 tons:

500 cm2 = 500: 10000 = 0.05 m2;

1.5 t = 1500 kg;

P = F / S = m * g: S;

1500 * 10: 0.05 = 300000.

Answer: 300,000 Pa.
