Question

A wooden box of weight 140 Newton is kept on a table. The area ofcross–section of the box is 5m². Calculate the pressure exerted by the box on the table.

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure=force/area

p=140/5

p= 28 N/m2

the pressure exerted by the box on the table =28 N/m2

Answer 2

Explanation:

$F = 140 \: newton \\ A = \: 5 {m}^{2} \\ P = \frac{F}{A} \\ = \frac{140}{5 {m}^{2} } \\ \\ = 28N/m² \\ 28pa$
