Question

A statue of a great baseball player weighs 2400 N and has a base that is 4 m x 2 m. What is the pressure the statue exerts on the floor?

Answer 1

300N/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure is calculated using the formula;

Pressure = Force/Area

Given

Force = 2400N

Area = 4m×2m = 8m²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

Pressure = 2400/8

Pressure = 300N/m²

Hence the pressure the statue exerts on the floor is 300N/m²
