Answer:

The weight of an object is the force it exerts due to gravity. Pressure is force per unit area, or force divided by area over which the pressure is exerted.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For Jo:

1. For Jo:force = 500 N

1. For Jo:force = 500 Narea = 0.0001 m^2

1. For Jo:force = 500 Narea = 0.0001 m^2pressure = F/A = 500N/0.0001m^2 = 5,000,000 N/m^2
