Answer:
Weight 100N
Sides of cuboid 5cm by 10cm
i) area of cuboid
Area of Cuboid = 5cm × 10cm
Area of Cuboid = 50cm²
Area of Cuboid = 50/10000 m²
Area of Cuboid = 0.005 m²
So, the area of cuboid is 0.005m².
ii) Pressure exerted by the cuboid when it lies on its side
Pressure = Force/Area
Pressure = 100/0.005
Pressure = 20000Pa
Pressure = 20Kpa.
So, the pressure exerted by the cuboid is 20Kpa.
