Question
Chapter 13, Problem 91A
To determine
Change in the pressure on the table.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 91A
Pressure on the table will be increase.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Pressure is a perpendicular force applied per unit area on the surface.
Force exerted by a body is the weight of that body.
Since there is no change in the weight of the body pressure will be inversely proportional to the area.
If the area increases, pressure will decrease and if the area decreases, the pressure will increase.
Conclusion:Rectangular box with the small surface area on the table will exert more pressure on the table.
