ANSWER:
212.18 pascals
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Given:
Side: 1.21 m
The area is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=s^2=(1.21)^2= \\ A=(1.21)^2 \\ A=1.4641m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Mass of the box: 31.7 kg
Force due to gravity:
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=m\cdot g \\ F=31.7\cdot9.8 \\ F=310.66\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]The pressure would be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} p=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{310.66}{1.4641} \\ p=212.18\text{ Pa} \end{gathered}[/tex]The pressure is 212.18 pascals
