Question 18
Original source text (layout and all choices are preserved in the source panel below):
The thickness of a flexible material is 1.00 cm and its density is 3.00 g/cm3. It is used to
construct a hollow cylinder X as shown below, with dimensions as labelled.
Thickness of
material = 1.00 cm
50.0 cm Inner diameter
= 10.0 cm
Hollow Cylinder X
The same flexible material is then used to make a solid cylinder Y of the same height
as X as shown below.
50.0 cm
Solid Cylinder Y
When both cylinders X and Y are standing upright on the ground as shown previously,
which of the following statements is true?
A. The pressure exerted by X on the ground is smaller than Y.
B. The pressure exerted due to X on the ground is larger than Y.
C. The pressure exerted by X and Y on the ground is equal.
D. There is not enough information to determine if X or Y exerts a larger pressure on
the ground.
