Pressure — practice question

A box has a weight of $15\,\text{N}$. It is standing on a horizontal surface, with face P touching the surface. How much does the pressure on the surface change if the box topples so that face Q is in contact with the surface?

  • A$0.0040\,\text{m}^2/\text{N}$
  • B$0.0067\,\text{m}^2/\text{N}$
  • C$100\,\text{N m}^{-2}$
  • D$250\,\text{N m}^{-2}$
