Question

How much does a crate weigh (force) if it is 0.25 meters wide and 1.5 meters long and it

exerts 800 pascals of pressure on the ground when it lands?

Answer 1

Force of a crate : 300 N

Further explanation

Given

0.25 meters wide and 1.5 meters long

Pressure = 800 Pa

Required

Force

Solution

P = F/A

A = 0.25 x 1.5

A = 0.375 m²

P = 800 Pa = 800 N/m²

Input the value :

F = P x A

F = 800 N/m² x 0.375 m²

F = 300 N
