A rectangular solid black has length 10cm, breadth 5cm and height 2cm. If it lies on a horizontal surface, and has density 100kg/m\(^3\), calculate the pressure it exerts on the surface.

A
200 N/m\(^2\)
B
A. 300 N/m\(^2\)
C
B. 100 N/m\(^2\)
D
C. 400 N/m\(^2\)
correct option: a
P = F
A
= mg
A
= (ρ × v) × g
A
= ρ × (A × h) × g
A


P = 100 × 2 × 10\(^{-2}\) × 10 = 200 N/m\(^2\)
