  • Pressure = 5000 Pa
  • Contact Area = 0.04 m^2
  • Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
  • Let the force be F.
  • We know, Force = Pressure × Contact Area
  • Therefore, Force = 5000 Pa × 0.04 m/s^2
  • or, Force = 200 N
  • We know, force = mass × acceleration
  • Therefore, mass = force ÷ acceleration
  • or, mass = 200 N ÷ 9.8 m/s^2 = 20.4 Kg

Answer:

20.4 Kg

Hope you could understand.
