Answer:

Pressure exerted = 500 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is as follows:

[tex]Pressure = \frac{Force \space\ applied}{Area}[/tex]

In this case,

Force applied = 100N

Area = 40cm × 50cm = 2000cm² = 2000 × 10⁻⁴ = 0.2m²

Substituting these values into the formula:

Pressure = [tex]\frac{100}{0.2}[/tex]

⇒ Pressure = 500 Pa

Answer:

500Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area where area is in [tex]m^{2}[/tex].

Firstly, lets convert both area dimensions into metrers.

40cm = 40/100 m = 0.4m

50cm = 50/100 m = 0.5m

Area of Bottom area of box = 0.4m x 0.5m = [tex]0.2m^{2}[/tex]

Pressure = [tex]\frac{100N}{0.2m^{2} }[/tex]

= 500Pa
