Question

. A cuboidal box of base measurements 40 cm x 30 cm is kept on the floor. The mass of the box is 120 kg. What is the pressure exerted by the box on the floor?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the pressure(P) exerted by an object on a given surface is equal to its weight(F) acting in the direction perpendicular to that surface divided by the total surface area of contact(A) between the object and the surface.

P=

A

F

=

a

2

F

where a is the dimension of the cube.

Given that a=50 cm=0.5 m,F=25 N

⟹P=

0.5×0.5

25

⟹P=100 Pa
