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

Sagot :

Answer:

The pressure of the box on the floor is 200 Pa

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
