Question 22

A solid block of weight W W\,W and mass m m\,m rests on a flat horizontal table. The area of contact between the block and the table is AAA.

Which expression represents the pressure P P\,P exerted by the block on the table?

A

P=mAP = \frac{m}{A}P=Am​

B

P=WAP = \frac{W}{A}P=AW​

C

P=m×AP = m \times AP=m×A

D

P=W×AP = W \times AP=W×A
