What pressure does a table weighing 200 N produce if the area of each of the four legs is 0.0005 m2?

F = 200 N
S1 = 0.0005 m2
Pressure P is the force F applied to a unit area S. To find the pressure P, it is necessary to divide the force F by the area S to which this force is applied P = F / S. Since the table has 4 legs, the area of all legs will be S = 4 * S1 … P = F / 4 * S1. Let’s substitute the data into the formula: P = 200H / 4 * 0.0005m2 = 100000 Pa.
Answer: the table exerts a pressure of 100,000 Pa on the floor.
