Determine the pressure on the ground of a lead cube with a rib length of 10 cm.

Problem data: a (the length of the considered lead cube) = 10 cm (in SI a = 0.1 m).

Reference values: ρс (lead density) = 11300 kg / m3; g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.

The pressure that the lead cube under consideration creates on the ground is calculated by the formula: P = F / S = m * g / a ^ 2 = ρс * V * g / a ^ 2 = ρс * a ^ 3 * g / a ^ 2 = ρс * a * g.

Let’s calculate: P = 11300 * 0.1 * 10 = 11300 Pa (11.3 kPa).

Answer: The lead cube in question exerts a pressure of 11.3 kPa on the ground.
