A rectangular box is placed on a desk A physics lab student plans to calculate the pressure that the box exerts on the desk at its area of contact with the desk • The student first measures the mass of the box, in kilograms, and the area of its base, in square meters
. The pressure the box exerts on the desk is defined as the force (mass times acceleration due to gravity) the box exerts per unit of area of contact
• The box exerts a force equal to its mass times the acceleration, in meters per second squared, due to gravity
When the student calculates the pressure the box exerts, which unit should the student use to report the pressure?
А
2.
