A brick has a weight of 23N. The brick is flat and smooth on the side in contact with the floor having measurements ( height= 5c
m, length =20cm, width=10cm). A)Calculate the area of the brick in contact with the floor. Give your answer in cm2. B)Calculate the pressure of the brick on the floor.
Assuming that the brick is flat on the floor with its largest face towards the floor and not on its side, then we can calculate the area of that face by multiplying the length by the width like so...
Area = length * width
Area = 20cm * 10cm
Area = 200
The formula for calculating pressure is force divided by area. Therefore, since we just finished calculating the area and the force is given to us in the question (23N) we can simply plug in these values and solve for the pressure.

The hypothalamus controls the anterior pituitary by means of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). The hormone CRH is encoded by the CRH gene on eighth human chromosome. The anterior pituitary in turn regulates other endocrine glands by means of Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH). These actions form part of the Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal(HPA) axis which is one of the important neuroendocrine systems in humans.
