Question

A metallic cube weighs 1800 N. The pressure exerted by its base is 120 Pa. Find the area of the base.

Answer 1

Answer:

25 m^2

Explanation:

F/A = P

F = 1800 N

P = 120 Pa = 120 N/m^2

Substituting,

1800/A = 120

Taking denominator to RHS

1800 = 120×A

1800/120 = A

1800/120 = 25 m^2 =A
