Question

Both a block of wood and a nail have a weight of 5.0x10^-2 newtons. If the surface of the block laying on a table top has an area of 6.0x10^-4 meters squared, what pressure does the block exert on the table top?

Answer 1

Here, P = F / A
P = (5 * 10⁻²) / (6 * 10⁻⁴)
P = 0.8333 * 10²
P = 83.33 Pascal

In short, Your Answer would be 83.33 Pascal

Hope this helps!
