Pressure exerted by the wooden cube = 2 Pa
Surface area of cube = 5 cm² = 0.0005 m²
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
Formula of Pressure:
[tex] \boxed{ \bf{P = \dfrac{F}{A}}}[/tex]
P → Pressure
F → Force
A → Surface Area
By substituting values in the formula, we get:
[tex] \rm \longrightarrow 2 = \dfrac{F}{0.0005} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow F = 2 \times 0.0005 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow F = 0.001 \: N \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow F = 1 \: mN[/tex]
[tex] \therefore [/tex] Force applied by the cube on the floor = 1 mN
