1.	A box of mass 10kg as a base of area 1msquare calculate the pressure exerted by it on the ground
Answer» PRESSURE = FORCE exerted per unit area. Force = 10 kg Area = 1 m² Pressure exerted = 10 kg / 1 m² = 10 kg / m² 1 kg / m² = 1 PASCAL => Pressure exerted by the box is 10 Pascals.

A box of mass 10kg as a base of area 1msquare calculate the pressure exerted by it on the ground

Answer»

PRESSURE = FORCE exerted per unit area.

Force = 10 kg

Area = 1 m²

Pressure exerted = 10 kg / 1 m² = 10 kg / m²

1 kg / m² = 1 PASCAL

=> Pressure exerted by the box is 10 Pascals.
