Answer:
P = 928.09 Pa
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a gas cylinder, m = 90 kg
The diameter of the cylinder, d = 1.1 m
Radius, r = 0.55 m
We need to find the ground pressure. The pressure is equal to force per unit area. So,
[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{\pi r^2}\ (A\ is\ area\ of\ base)\\\\P=\dfrac{90\times 9.8}{\pi \times (0.55)^2}\\\\P=928.09\ Pa[/tex]
So, the ground pressure is 928.09 Pa.
