Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Hence, the area of the box which is in contact with the floor is 0.01 m²

Answer:
Area of the box in contact with the floor= 0.01 meter^2 = 100 cm^2
Explanation:
1 Pascal = 1 Newton/meter^2
Weight of the box = 250 N
Pressure exerted by the box on the floor = 25000 pacal = 25000 Newton/meter^2
We know Area = Force/ Pressure
So, Area = 250/25000 meter^2
= 0.01 meter^2
