Question

a wooden box of dimensions 50cm x 30cm x 20cm is kept on the ground of the mass of the box is 30 kg find the pressure exerted by the box on the ground ​

Answer 1

0.2pascal

Step-by-step explanation:

when the box is on the ground,

Then Force= weight

F=mg, which is

F= 30*10=300N

and also the area

Area= 50*30=1500cm^2

Therefore

Pressure =Force / Area

Pressure = 300/1500 = 3/15 =0.2pascal
