Calculate the pressure in the following cases :
(i) On the surface of a block , if it weighs 60 N and is lying on a side with area 0.3 m x 0.1 m.
(ii)On the same 60 N block , if it is lying on a side with area 0.1 m x 0.2 m .

To calculate the pressure in the given cases, we will use the formula for pressure: \[ \text{Pressure} (P) = \frac{\text{Force} (F)}{\text{Area} (A)} \] Where: - Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa) - Force is measured in Newtons (N) - Area is measured in square meters (m²) ...
