Question

A box weighing 5 N has its base area 5 cm?. What pressure does it exert? If another identical box is placed on the top of first box, what is thrust and pressure now?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

pressure=force /area

so, 5 cm^2=0.005 m^2

P=5/0.005

=1000 Nm^2

if same block is kept

then ..force get doubled

p=10/0.005

p=2000nm^2
