The box, which has an area of 0.5 m2, weighs 300N. How much pressure does he put on the floor?

As we know from the school physics curriculum, pressure can be calculated using the following formula:

p = F / S.

At the same time, we know that the following equality will be true for a stationary body:

P = F

Let us determine what the pressure will be equal to, what is on the floor given by the box, whose weight is 300 N, when from the condition we know that its supporting area is 0.5 m2:

300: 0.5 = 600.

Answer: With such initial data, the box will exert pressure on the floor equal to 600 pascal.
