Four identical pallets of bricks, each with a mass of 40 kg with a square cross-sectional area of 0.50 m2, are stacked on the floor. What is the change in height of the pallet at the bottom of the stack if the pallets are 5.0 m tall when not stacked

Explanation:

Modulus of elasticity of brick, Y = 28 x 10^9 Pa

mass of each, m = 40 kg

Area of each, A = 0.5 m²

number of bricks, n = 4

height, h = 5 m

Let the change in height is Δh.

Use the formula of Modulus of elasticity

E = stress/ strain

stress = n x m x g/A = 4 x 40 x 9.8 / 0.5 = 3136 Pa

So,

Δh = 5.6 x 10^-7 m

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
