There are two identical glasses on the table, one of them upside down. Which of the glasses puts more pressure on the table?

The pressure P is the force F calculated per unit area S.
P = F / S.
The glass is acted upon by the force of gravity F = m * g, where m is the mass of the glass, g is the acceleration of gravity.
The glass with the force of m * g is pressed against the table, in the first case, in the second case.
The area S on which this force acts when the glass is upside down is larger than when the glass is upside down.
When the glass is upside down, the whole bottom touches, and when the bottom is up, it comes into contact with the table only with the rim of the glass.
The pressure P is greater where the area S is smaller. Since the area is in the denominator.
Answer: the glass exerts more pressure on the table when it is upside down.
