the block exerts on the table?
O
A. Turn it to a larger face.
O
B. Move it to the floor.
O
C. Hold it above the table.
O
D. Turn it to a smaller face.

Answer 1

i think the answer to this is D

Answer 2

Turn it to a smaller face.

(D) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure :

Pressure is the inversely proportional to the area.

When the area of the block of face small then the pressure will be increases if the area of the block of face larger then the pressure will be reduce.

Pressure is equal to the force upon area.

In mathematically term,

`P=(F)/(A)`

Where, F = force

A = area

P = pressure

Hence, Turn it to a smaller face.
