A block of iron of mass 7.5 kg and of dimensions 12 cm x 8 cm x 10 cm is kept on a table top on its base of side 12 cm x 8 cm.
Calculate : Pressure exerted on the table top
Take 1 kgf= 10 N

Explanation

To calculate the pressure exerted on the tabletop by the block of iron, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the Weight of the Block
The weight (thrust) of the block can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times g \]
Where:
