Explain why a wide steel belt is provided over the army tank

Open in App
Solution

A wide steel belt is provided over the wheels of army tank because, we know P = F/A. So we provide a larger surface area which causes the pressure of the tank on the ground to decrease, allowing it to move easily and not sink into the ground.
