Question

A box has a weight of 120 kg and the bottom of the box is 12 metre square. What is the pressure the box exerts on the floor??

Answer 1

Answer

• Pressure exerted by box on floor is 10 Pascals

Given

• A box has a weight of 120 N
• Area of bottom of the box is 12 m²

To Find

• Pressure exerts on the floor

Concept Used

Pressure

• It is defined as force acting per unit area

$\rm \bullet \;\;\; Presure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}$

Solution

Weight = Force , F = 120 N

Area , A = 12 m²

Pressure , P = ? Pa

Apply Formula .

$\implies \rm Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}\\\\\implies \rm P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\\implies \rm P=\dfrac{120}{12}\\\\\implies \rm P=10\ N/m^2\\\\\implies \rm P=10\ Pa$

More Info

• SI unit of Pressure , P is Pascal or N/m²
• SI unit of Force , F is Newton or Kg-m/s²
• SI unit of Area , A is m²
