Which type of force is exerted on the bottom row of bricks in a building?
That would be the force of gravity (from all the weight that the bricks above apply, plus the weight on the building's roof and floors that hang from the bricks.) There would also be the overturning force of wind blowing on the brick wall, or the random, changing forces from an earthquake.
Which type of force is exered on the bottom row of bricks in a building?
tension
Why does building foundations have a large horizontal area of contact with the ground?
this is because when the area of contact between the ground and the building increases the pressure exerted by the building will be less for the same force.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What is the scientific definition of force?
Pressure depends on the quantity of force exerted and the area over which the force is exerted

If a force is exerted to the left what direction will the reaction force be exerted?
right
