Question

A box has a base surface area of 25 cm2 and a weight of 100N. Calculate the pressure it exerts on the ground

Answer 1

Answer:

we know that

$pressure = \frac{force}{area}$

According to question

force=100N

area= 25 cm²

On applying the formula of pressure we get

$= \frac{100}{25} \\ = 4$

Pressure = 4 N/ cm²

hope this helps
