Answer:
P max = 1000 pa
P min = 200 pa
Explanation:
P = F/A
pressure will be maximum when surface gets minimum. so to find the maximum amount of pressure we need to calculate the minimum surface. it is 2cm×5cm = 10cm² = 0.001m² . then we have:
P = 1 / 0.001 = 1000 pa
to find minimum pressure the surface that must be chosen is 10cm×5cm = 50cm² = 0.005m² .
P = 1 / 0.005 = 200 pa
