Question

What is the minimum pressure that the box can exert on the floor if the box weighs two kg

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:for pressure on the ground by box depends on mass &pressure bearing area ,not the surface area of box . only that matters is base area if you give height one can calculate area In the absence of height one has to assume that box is cube which has all edges of equal length.

SA of cube =150 =6a^2 ; a^2 =150/6 =25 ;a =5 metre=side length

W= mg 300*9.81 =2943

pressure exerted on the base area of 25 M^2 =2943 /25 =11772/100 =117.72

MLT-2/L^2 =Newtons/square metre

Answer: Pressure exerted on the base area=117.72 Newtons/square metre
