Answer:
The area is in contact with the ground if A box exerts 10,000 Pa of pressure on the ground. If the box weighs 1000 N is 10 m².
( which is D/10 m²).
Explanation:
so what is pressure?
In the physical sciences, pressure is defined as the stress at a point within a confined fluid or the perpendicular force per unit area. A 42-pound box with a bottom area of 84 square inches will impose pressure on a surface equal to the force divided by the area it is applied to, or half a pound per square inch.
