Question

A box in the shape of a cuboid is placed on a horizontal floor. The box exerts a force of 180 newtons on the floor. The box exerts a pressure of 187.5newtons/m^2 on the floor. The face in contact with the floor is a rectangle of length 1.2 metres and width z metres. Work out the value of x. pressure=(force)/(area) (3 marks) 8x= square

Answer 1

Now from the calculations, I find that the value of 'x', the width of the box, is x = 1.2

.

Answer 2

## Step1:Firstly, identify the values given in the problem,

the force,

the pressure, and the box length "length" = 1.2m. We are asked to find the width 'x' of the box.## Step2:Next, realize that we can utilize the pressure formula,

, where

is pressure,

is force, and

is Area. Here, language_week is 'x', so, the area will be length * width = 1.2m * x## Step3:Solve for 'x' by substituting given values in the formula. We get

## Step4:To solve the above equation, reconcept it as

## Step5: Perform the required calculation.
