Question

A box has the weight of 120N and the bottom of the box is 12 cm² what is the pressure the box exerts on the floor

Answer 1

100000N/m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the box = 120N

Area of the box = 12cm²

Unknown:

Pressure of the box on the floor = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted by a body per unit area:

            Pressure = $\frac{force }{area}$

We need to convert the area into m² from cm²

     10000cm²  = 1m²

      12cm²  =     $\frac{12}{10000}$ = 0.0012m²

 Pressure = $\frac{120}{0.0012}$ = 100000N/m²
