Question

Consider a box weight 2700 newtons resting on the ground. If the area of the box touching the ground is 1.5 square meters, what pressure does the box exert on the ground ?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 1800 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Weight = 2700 N

Area = 1.5 m²

Pressure = ?

Formula

Pressure = Force / Area

The Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area.

-Substitution

Pressure = 2700 / 1.5

-Result

Pressure = 1800 Pa

The units of pressure are Pascals (Pa)
