Problem

A solid block has dimensions

25\,\text{cm}\times20\,\text{cm}\times10\,\text{cm}

and mass

12\,\text{kg}

. It is placed on a horizontal table in different orientations. Taking

g=10\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

, determine the maximum pressure the block can exert on the table. a)

4.8\times10^{3}\,\text{Pa}

6.0\times10^{2}\,\text{Pa}

6.0\times10^{3}\,\text{Pa}

2.4\times10^{3}\,\text{Pa}
