Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the ground. Its dimensions are 0.400 m x 0.250 m x 0.130 m. A number of identical blocks are stacked on top of this one. What is the smallest number of whole bricks (including the one on the ground) that can be stacked so that their weight creates a pressure of at least two atmospheres on the ground beneath the first block

The value is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is

The dimension of the block is

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

Generally 1 atm =

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

So

=>

Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

Here N is the number of blocks

So

=>  

the force required to move the cart is divided by three or 33.33 n.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
