The pressure exerted by the box on the ground can be calculated using the formula:

Pressure = Force / Area

where Force is the weight of the box and Area is the bottom surface area of the box.

Given that the weight of the box is 650 N and the bottom surface area of the box is 0.35 m², we can substitute these values into the formula to get:

Pressure = 650 N / 0.35 m²

Pressure = 1857.14 Pa

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the box on the ground is 1857.14 Pa (Pascals).
