The weighing box of 1 kH has a support area of 0.4m². Calculate the pressure of the box on the floor.

Given:

P = 1 kN – box weight;

s = 0.4 square meters – drawer support area.

It is required to determine N (Pascal) – the value of the box pressure on the floor.

Let’s convert kilonewtons to Newtons:

P = 1 kN = 1 * 1000 = 1000 Newton.

To determine the amount of pressure of the box on the floor, you must use the following formula:

P = N * s, from here we find:

N = P / s = 1000 / 0.4 = 2500 Pascal (2.5 kPa).

Answer: The pressure of the box on the floor is 2500 Pascal (2.5 kPa).
