A perpendicular force of 600 N acts on a circular surface of radius 1.4 m. The surface will just break if an additional perpendicular force of 16 N is applied on it. The maximum pressure that the surface can withstand is

Pressure= Force/ Area
Force acting on the circular surface= 600 N
Maximum Additional force that can be added= 16 N
Therefore total force = 600 N + 16 N = 616 N
Radius of circular surface= 1.4 m
