what is the pressure exerted on the ground by a cube which has a weight of 600n and a side of 1m

Looks like 600N/m^2

assuming it is lying flat on one face

600N/ m^2

To calculate the pressure exerted on the ground by a cube, you need to divide the weight of the cube by the area of contact between the cube and the ground. In this case, since the cube has a side length of 1 m, the area of contact is simply the square of 1 m, which is 1 square meter.

To calculate the pressure, you divide the weight (in newtons) by the area (in square meters).

Pressure = Weight / Area

Given that the weight of the cube is 600 N and the area of contact is 1 square meter, the pressure exerted on the ground by the cube is:

Pressure = 600 N / 1 m^2 = 600 N/m^2

Therefore, the pressure exerted on the ground by the cube is 600 newtons per square meter, which is equivalent to 600 pascals (Pa) or 600 N/m².
