Pressure Calculations

During a science project, Emily measures the force exerted by a book resting on a table to be 200N and the area of the book's contact with the table to be 20m². What is the pressure exerted by the book? (a)  

• 100N/㎡

• 5N/㎡

• 10N/㎡

If the area is 2.5㎡ and the pressure is 100N/㎡, what is the force in N?
