an elephant of mass 1500 kg stands on its four legs each of area m^2
calculate the pressure exerted by each legs of the elephant on the ground [g = 10m/s^-2]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The pressure P (in Pascals) is the weight W = M*g (in newtons) divided by the area S = :
P = = = = = 312500 Pa.
It is slightly more than 3 times the atmospheric pressure (101325 Pa).
