Answer:
1385 N/m^2
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by the brick on the ground is given by:
[tex]p=\frac{F}{A}[/tex]
where F is the weight of the brick and A is the area of its largest face.
The area of the largest face is given by the two largest sides of the brick, therefore:
[tex]A=(0.19 m)(0.095 m)=0.01805 m^2[/tex]
The force exerted by the brick is the weight:
[tex]F=25 N[/tex]
So, the pressure is
[tex]p=\frac{25 N}{0.01805 m^2}=1385 N/m^2[/tex]
