To calculate the pressure exerted by the brick when it is placed along its breadth and height on the ground, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the weight of the brick The weight (W) of the brick can be calculated using the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g \] where: - \( m = 3 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the brick) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) ...
