The weight of the elephant is 4500 kg, and the area of ​​the sole of one of its legs is 1700 cm2. Calculate the pressure of the elephant on the ground.

64852.94 N/m²

Explanation:

From the question,

P = F/A Equation 1

Where P = Pressure of the Elephant on the ground, F = Weight of the Elephant, A = Area of the sole of the four legs.

But,

F = mg Equation 2

Where m = mass of the elephant, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = mg/A Equation 3

Given: m = 4500 kg, A = (1700×4) cm² ( The elephant has four legs) = 6800 cm² = 0.68 m²

Constant; g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (4500×9.8)/0.68

P = 64852.94 N/m²

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
