Question

a rectangular block weighs 240N. The area of the block in contact with the floor is 20cm2 calculate the pressure on the floor

Answer 1

The pressure on the floor is 12 Pascal(Pa).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Force (F) = 240N

Area (A) = 20 cm^2

Pressure (P) = ?

we know that,

P = F/A

= 240/ 20

= 12 Pa
