Answer: 1701 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the area of the base of the cupboard. From the information given,

length = 1.2

Area of square = length of side^2 = 1.2^2 = 1.44 m^2

Weight or force = 2450

The formula for calculating pressure is expressed as

Pressure = Force/area

Pressure = 2450/1.44

Pressure = 1701 Pa
