Question

The bottom of a box has a surface area of 58.8 cm^2. The mass of the box is 12.0 kg. Acceleration due to gravity at sea level is 9.80 m/s2. Identify the pressure exerted by the box where it rests.

A.) 2.00 Pa
B.) 72.0 Pa
C.) 2.00 x 10^4 Pa
D.) 0.500 Pa

Answer 1

Answer:A.) 2.00 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

There are several information's of immense importance already given. Let us now focus on the problem in hand.

Pressure = Force/Area
Area = 58.8 cm^2
= 0.0058 m2
Then
Pressure = (12 * 9.8)/0.0058
= 20275 Pascals
= 2 Pa
The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.
