Question

7 Anvils made of single crystals of diamond, with the shape as shown in
Fig. 9.14, are used to investigate behaviour of materials under very high pressures.
Flat faces at the narrow end of the anvil have a diameter of 0.50 mm, and the wide ends
are subjected to a compressional force of 50,000 N. What is the pressure at the tip of
the anvil?​
