Pressure — practice question

A book has a mass of $400\,\text{g}$. One of its faces has dimensions of $0.10\,\text{m} \times 0.20\,\text{m}$. This face is touching a table. The gravitational field strength $g$ is $10\,\text{N kg}^{-1}$. What pressure does the book exert on the table?

  • A$0.08\,\text{N m}^{-2}$
  • B$8.0\,\text{N m}^{-2}$
  • C$20\,\text{N m}^{-2}$
  • D$200\,\text{N m}^{-2}$
