The bottom of a box has a surface area of 58.8 cm^2. the mass of the box is 12.0 kg. acceleration due to gravity at sea level is 9.80 m/s2. identify the pressure exerted by the box where it rests.
a.) 2.00 pa
b.) 72.0 pa
c.) 2.00 x 10^4 pa
d.) 0.500 pa

There are several information's of immense importance already given. Let us now focus on the problem in hand.

Pressure = Force/Area
Area = 58.8 cm^2
         = 0.0058 m2
Then
Pressure = (12 * 9.8)/0.0058
                = 20275 Pascals
                = 2 Pa
The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.
