A vessel with mercury weighs 55h. Calculate the pressure of the vessel on the table if its area is 0.008m2.

Initial data: Pc (weight of the vessel with mercury) = 55 N; S (bottom area of the vessel with mercury) = 0.008 m2.

The pressure of the vessel with mercury on the table can be calculated by the formula: P = F / S = Pc / S.

Calculation: P = 55 / 0.008 = 6875 Pa.

Answer: A vessel with mercury exerts a pressure of 6875 Pa on the table.
