Answer:
Pressure excerted on the surface = 245 N/m^2
Explanation:
Length = 0.2m
Breadth = 0.1m
Height = 0.05m
Mass = 0.5 kg
Pressure = Force / Area
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Since the block is resting, the acceleration acting on it is due to gravity.
Force = 0.5 x 9.8 = 4.9 N
Area = 0.2 x 0.1 = 0.02 m^2
Pressure = 4.9 / 0.02 = 245 N/m^2
