Question

A block weighing 1 kg is in the shape of cube whose length is 10cm . It is kept on the table . Find the force acting on the object?

Answer 1

Pressure = Force / Area
= mg / A
= (1 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / (0.1 m × 0.1 m)

= 980 pascals

∴ Pressure acting on the table by block is 980 pascals

[Note: If we take g = 10 m/s² then pressure will be 1 kilo pascals]
