Answer:
Explanation:
Given;
Mass of a box (m) = 300kg
Area of box (a) = 15m²
Pressure exerted by the box (P) = ?
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8m/s²
Here,
Pressure = Force / Area
= mass × acceleration due to gravity / Area [Since, force=mass×acceleration due to gravity]
= 300 × 9.8 / 15
= 2940 / 15
= 196 N/m²
