Question 66

A rectangular block of mass m m\,m and weight W W\,W rests on a flat, horizontal table top. The area of the bottom face of the block in contact with the table is AAA.

Which of the following equations correctly expresses the pressure p p\,p exerted by the block on the table?

A

p=WAp = \frac{W}{A}p=AW​

B

p=mAp = \frac{m}{A}p=Am​

C

p=W×Ap = W \times Ap=W×A

D

p=AWp = \frac{A}{W}p=WA​
