A rectangular wooden slab of mass `5kg ` is kept on a table top of edge 2m each and the slab covers the table completely. Calculate.
(a) the thrust of the block on the table top.
(b) the pressure of the block on the table top.

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the thrust and pressure exerted by the rectangular wooden slab on the table top.

### Given Data:
- Mass of the wooden slab (m) = 5 kg
- Dimensions of the table top = 2 m x 2 m

### Step 1: Calculate the Thrust of the Block on the Table Top
The thrust exerted by the block on the table is equal to the weight of the block. The weight (W) can be calculated using the formula:
