Pressure — practice question

A garden table has a weight of $60\,\text{N}$ and a top surface with an area of $2.0\,\text{m}^2$. Rain is falling, and it creates a pressure of $4.0\,\text{N m}^{-2}$ on the table. If atmospheric pressure is ignored, what force does the table exert on the ground?

  • A$52\,\text{N}$
  • B$58\,\text{N}$
  • C$62\,\text{N}$
  • D$68\,\text{N}$
