Consider a box weight 2700 newtons resting on the ground. If the area of the box touching the ground is 1.5 square meters, what pressure does the box exert on the ground?

The answer to your question is 1800 Pa

Explanation:

Data

Weight = 2700 N

Area = 1.5 m²

Pressure = ?

Formula

Pressure = Force / Area

The Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area.

-Substitution

Pressure = 2700 / 1.5

-Result

Pressure = 1800 Pa

The units of pressure are Pascals (Pa)
