Answer: 10,000 pa

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Force = 10,000

Area = 1 m^2

Pressure = 10,000 / 1

Pressure = 10,000 pa.

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.
