Use the formula for pressure to determine the weight of a box that creates a pressure of 1,065 N/cm2 when resting on a 17.0-cm2 surface.
weight = 18,105 N
weight = 62.65 N
weight = 0.0160 N
weight = 10,400 N

Respuesta :


Force /Area = Pressure
Force = Pressure * Area
Force = 1065 * 17 = 18105 N

weight  = 18105 N

I hope this helps!

Answer: The weight of the box is 18105 N.

Explanation: As we know pressure is force per unit area and force is mass times acceleration which is applied due to the weight of the body.

[tex]pressure=\frac{force}{area}[/tex]

[tex]Force=mass\times acceleration[/tex]

Pressure =  [tex]1065 Ncm^-^2[/tex]

Area=  [tex]17.0 cm^2[/tex]

[tex]1065 Ncm^-^2=\frac{weight}{17.0 cm^2}[/tex]

[tex]weight= 18105N[/tex]
