Answer:

$Pressure = 29723.1\ N/m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Force = 8694N

Length = 0.45m

Width = 0.65m

Required

The force exerted on the floor by the box

First, calculate the area covered by the box (i.e. the base area)

$Base\ Area = Length * Width$

$Base\ Area = 0.45m * 0.65m$

$Base\ Area = 0.2925m^2$

Pressure is calculated as:

Pressure = (Force)/(Area)

Pressure = (8694N)/(0.2925m^2)

$Pressure = 29723.0769231\ N/m^2$

$Pressure = 29723.1\ N/m^2$ --- approximated
