What pressure p does a box weighing P = 200H produce on the floor if the base area S is 0.02 m2?

Given: P (box weight) = 200 N = Ft (gravity that acts on the box); S (area of the base of the box in contact with the floor) = 0.02 m2.

Solution: to determine the pressure that the box produces on the floor, we divide its weight by the base area: P = Ft / S.

Let’s perform the calculation: P = 200 / 0.02 = 10,000 Pa (10 kPa).

Answer: The box produces a pressure of 10 kPa on the floor.
