Answer:
• Mass, m = 300 kg
• Area, a = 15 m²
• Acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s²
To Find :
• The pressure exerted by the box on the ground
Solution :
We know that,
★ Pressure = Force/Area
For calculation of Pressure we will have to find the force acquired first
From Newton's 2nd law of motion :
★ Force = Mass × Acceleration
→ F = 300 × 9.8
→ F = 2940 Newtons
Put the value of Force in the formula of Pressure :
→ Pressure =
→ Pressure = 196 Pascals
The pressure exerted by the box on the ground is 196 Pascals.
