Question

A box of weight 400N is placed on a ground of 20m2 . Find the pressure exerted by the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the box is 20N /m sq.

Explanation:

Given :

weight of box = 400N

area of box = 20m square

now , we have to find the pressure

force = pressure × area

so, pressure would be

pressure = force / area

pressure = 400 / 20

pressure = 20N / m sq.
