pressure = force / area

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

30 [N] is the weight force of the box 0.5 [m^2] is the area of the base of the box

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm so confused lol

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you have the right number, but the wrong units

OpenStudy (perl):

almost, the pressure is 60 N / m^2 . The unit Newton/meter^2 is special, it is known as Pascals. abbreviated Pa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i didn't know i had to add in the newton too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you both!!! but can someone check my answer for a similar problem real quick?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[F=Ma\\ W=mg\\ \quad=70[\text{kg}]\times9.81[\text{m/s}^2]\\ \quad=686.7[\text{kg}\ \text m/\text s^2]\\ \quad=686.7[\text N]\checkmark\]
