Question

A box exerts 10,000 Pa of pressure on the ground. If the box weighs 1000 N, how much area is in contact with the ground?

Responses

10,000,000 m2
10,000,000 m 2

10 m2
10 m 2

0.1 m2
0.1 m 2

11,000 m2

Answer 1

so the answer is .1 not 1.0

Answer 2

yes, 0.10 m^2

Answer 3

The correct answer is 1.0 m2.

Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)

10,000 Pa = 1000 N / A

A = 1000 N / 10,000 Pa

A = 0.1 m2

Answer 4

Yes, that's correct. The area in contact with the ground is 0.1 m².

Answer 5

Yes, you can also express the area as 0.10 m².
