A cuboid of dimensions `3 m xx 2m xx 1m` is placed on a surface such that the face with maximum surface area is in contact. If the weight of the cuboid is `1kg_(wt)`, the pressure exerted by it on the surface is _____. (take `g=10 m s^(-2))`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Pressure= `F/A=(1xx10)/(3xx2)=10/6=5/3Nm^(-2)`
