b. Find the mass of the wooden block.
c. Find the force exerted by the block on the ground. 1m
d. What is the greatest pressure exerted on the ground
by the block? 2m
e. Determine the least pressure exerted on the ground
by the block.
[Take g = 10 N kg-1]

2. A cube of side 0.2 m rests on the floor as shown. Given that the
cube has a density of 7 g cm-3, what is the pressure
exerted by the cube on the floor?
[Take g = 10 N kg-1] 0.2 m

3. A cube of side X rests on the floor as shown. Given that the pressure
exerted by this cube on the floor is P, what is the pressure exerted
by another cube of the same material of side 4X? [Take g = 10 N kg -1]
X 4X

4. The figure shows a rectangular container with cross-sectional area 2 m3 filled with water and
liquid Y of density 800 kg m3. The container is placed in a room where the barometer reading
is 760 mm Hg. [Density of water = 1000 kg m-3, density of mercury = 13 600 kg m-3. Take g = 10
N kg-1]
