Question

1. A metal box of weigh 20 N rests on its 1 m by 0.6m side on floor. How
much is the pressure exerted by the metal box on the floor? Take g=
10 m/s?
C.​

Answer 1

answer:

explanation: Pressure = force / area

P = 20/ 1×0.6

P = 20/0.6

P = 33,33 N/m^2

Answer 2

The pressure exerted by metal box on the floor is 33.34  $N/m^{2}$

Pressure is defined as force per unit area.

     $Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}=\frac{F}{A}$

Force,$F=20N$  and  Area $A=0.6*1=0.6m^{2}$

  Pressure = $\frac{20}{0.6}=33.34N/m^{2}$

Therefore, Pressure exerted by metal box on the floor is 33.34  $N/m^{2}$
