Answer:
2000 N/m²
Explanation:
From the question;
- Force exerted by the box is 3000 Newtons
- Area of the box in contact with the ground is 1.5 m²
We are required to calculate the pressure;
- Pressure refers to the force per unit area.
That is;
Pressure = Force/Area
Thus, in this case;
Pressure = 3000 N ÷ 1.5 m²
        = 2000 N/m²
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the box on the ground is 2000 N/m²
