What pressure does a marble column with a volume of 6m3 exert on the ground if its base area is 1.5 M ^ 2

These tasks: V (volume of the marble column) = 6 m3; S (area of the base of the marble column) = 1.5 m2.

Reference values: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.81 m / s2; ρm (density of marble) = 2700 kg / m3.

1) The mass of the marble column: m = ρm * V = 2700 * 6 = 16200 kg.

2) The force of gravity acting on the column: Ft = m * g = 16200 * 9.81 = 158922 N.

3) Pressure of marble columnar on the ground: P = Fn / S = 158922 / 1.5 = 105 948 Pa ≈ 106 kPa.

Answer: The marble column exerts a pressure of 106 kPa on the ground.
