A bronze statue weighs 2400N. Its base is 4 meters in length and 1 meter wide. What is the statue's pressure on the floor?

the pressure exerted by the bronze on the floor is 600 N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the bronze statue, F = 2400 N

width of the bronze base, w = 1 m

length of the bronze base, l = 4 m

The area of the bronze base = l x w

                                                = 4 x 1

                                                 = 4 m²

The pressure exerted by the bronze on the floor is calculated as;

P = F/A

P = 2400/4

P = 600 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the bronze on the floor is 600 N/m²
