1. Mass of cube is given by 200 kg

g that is gravity is given by 10 Newton

Force = mass x gravity

     = 200 x 10

F = 2000 N

The side length of a cube is 0.4 m

Surface area of one face of a cube can be taken as side x side

Area of one face of a cube can be taken as

0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16 m^2

Pressure = force / area

      = 2000 / 0.16

= 12,500 N/m^2

Now the pressure exerted by the cube on the floor is 12,500 N/m^2

side length of cube = 0.4 m
so, surface area of cube = side length²
= 0.4 × 0.4 = 0.16 m²

mass of cube = 200 kg
so, weight of cube = Mass of cube × g
= 200kg × 10 m/s² = 2000 N

now, pressure = weight/surface area of cube
= 2000/0.16
= 2000 × 100/16
= 2000 × 25/4
= 500 × 25
= 12500 N/m²
