Question

A box of weighing 60N is placed on the ground. The bottom of the box
measures 2m by Im. What is the pressure on the ground?
6 Ра
30 Pa
60 Pa
120 Pa​

Answer 1

Given:-

• Weight of. box ,F = 60 N

• Area ,A= 2 m²

To Find:-

• Pressure ,P

Solution:-

As we know that Pressure is defined as the Force Per unit area.

• SI unit of Pressure is Pascal.

❒ P = F/A

where,

P is the Pressure

F is the Force

A is the Area

Substitute the value we get

→ P = 60/2

→ P = 30 Pa

Therefore,the pressure on the ground is 30 Pascal.
