A table, with four legs, weighs 5 N. The area of contact of one of its leg with the ground is 2.5 x 10-3 m². A man, with a mass of 9 kg, sits on the centre of the tabletop. What is the total pressure exerted on the ground by the table with the man on it?

Total force on 4 legs
=5 N + 9*9.8 N
= 93.2 N
Area of contact of each leg
= 2.5*10<sup>-3</sup> m²
Pressure on each leg
= 93.2/(4*2.5*10<sup>-3</sup>
= 9320 N/m²
= 9320 Pa (pascals)
=5 N + 9*9.8 N
= 93.2 N
Area of contact of each leg
= 2.5*10<sup>-3</sup> m²
Pressure on each leg
= 93.2/(4*2.5*10<sup>-3</sup>
= 9320 N/m²
= 9320 Pa (pascals)
