Question

calculate the pressure exerted by a cuboid box on the floor in three different ways dimensions are 15 multiply 10 multiply 30 M cube force is equal to 25 and

Answer 1

formula for calculating pressure is F/A
force =weight of the box =25N

Answer 2

The pressure exerted by the cuboid box on the floor in three different ways are 1/6 Pa , 1/12 Pa and 1/18 Pa .

• Pressure exerted by a body = (total force exerted by the body) / (surface area)
• Pressure exerted on 15 * 10 base = 25 / (15*10) = 1/6 Pa

• Pressure exerted on 30 * 10 base = 25 / (30*10) = 1/12 Pa

• Pressure exerted on 15 * 30 base = 25 / (15*30) = 1/18 Pa
