Question

A box that weighs 500 N is at rest on the floor. If the pressure exerted by the box on the floor is 5,000 Pa, over what area is the box in contact with the floor

Answer 1

Explanation:

given data,

We will convert 2.5cm square to meter square =0.00025

force=500N

area=0.00025m

Pressure is given as;

P= F/A

= 500N/0.00025m

P=2×10⁶pa

Answer 2

Pressure is given as;

P = AF

= 0.00025m500N

P = 2 × 106 Pa
