Question

A 7.5 kg block is placed on a table. If it's bottom surface area is 0.6m2, how much pressure does the block exert on the tabletop?

Answer 1

We know that a 7.5 kg block is placed on a table and that it`s bottom surface area is 0.6 m².
Pressure = Force / Area
Force = Mass * Gravity = 7.5 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 73.575 N
P = 73.575 N / 0.6 m² = 122.625 N/m² = 122.625 Pa
Answer: The block exerts the pressure of 122.625 N/m² or 122.625 Pa.
