The bottom of a box has a surface area of 2.50 m2. The mass of the box is 51.5 kg. Acceleration due to gravity at sea level is 9.80 m/s2. What is the pressure exerted by the box where it rests? 20.2 Pa
131 Pa
4.76 Pa
202 Pa

Respuesta :

I believe the correct answer is D.

202 Pa (Pressure) <--- rounded up

You get this by multiply the acceleration by mass to get Force.  Pressure equals force divided by surface area.
