A 30 kg box is supported on one of its faces that is 40 cm wide and 50 cm long, what pressure does the box exert on the ground?
Answer:
Explanation:
Pressure is force acting per unit area hence expressed as
where F is the force and A is area. Force is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity while area is given as the product of length and width. These two are expressed as Fis mg and A=lw hence substituting them into the initial equation we obtain that
and substituting 30 kg for m, 0.4m for w, 0.5 m for l and 9.81 for g we obtain pressure as
