Homework 5 Geology 3063 October 27, 2000 This type of problem will be on the test! 1. Calculate the force at the base of a continental block that has a uniform thickness of 25km, length of1000km, width of500km, and density of2.70. What is the stress on the bottom of the block? 2. Use the following diagram to: a)Determine the stress acting on the vertical faces of the cube. b)Determine the stress acting on a horizontal plane in the cube. Assume that the cube is solid, does not deform, and has a dimension of 10cm on a side. Ignore atmospheric pressure in your calculations.
