A donkey has a weight of 2500 N - Edexcel - GCSE Physics - Question 4 - 2022 - Paper 1

To find the average pressure exerted by the donkey on the ground, we can use the formula:

ext{pressure} = rac{ ext{force}}{ ext{area}}

Here, the force is equal to the weight of the donkey, which is 2500 N, and the area is the area of one hoof, which is 0.022 m².

Substituting in the values, we have:

ext{pressure} = rac{2500 ext{ N}}{0.022 ext{ m}²}

Calculating this gives:

$$ext{pressure} = 113636.36 ext{ N/m}² ext{ or } ext{Pa}$$

Therefore, the average pressure that the donkey exerts on the ground is approximately 113636.36 Pa.
