Question

a box has a length of .5 m and a width of .1m. if the box exerts a force of 10 N on the floor, what is the pressure of the box on the floor

Answer 1

The pressure of the box on the floor is 200 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of the box=0.5m

Width of the box= 0.1m

∴Area of the box, A= (0.5 X 0.1) sq.m

= 0.05 sq.m

We know,

Pressure, P= F/A

= 10/0.05 Pa

= 200 Pa

∴The pressure of the box on the floor is 200 Pa
