The pressure exerted on the ground by the box of mass 5 kg is 0.98 N/m².

What is pressure:

Pressure is defined to be the amount of force exerted per area acting on the surface of a body.

To calculate the preesure exerted on the ground, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • P = mg/lw............... Equation 1

Where:

  • P = Pressure exerted on the ground
  • m = Mass of the box
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity
  • l = Length of the box
  • w = Width of box

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 5 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • l = 10 m
  • w = 5 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • P = (5×9.8)/(5×10)
  • P = 49/50
  • P = 0.98 N/m²

Hence, the pressure exerted on the ground is 0.98 N/m².
