Answer 1

Pressure = Force / Area

____________________

Pressure = 250 N / 10m

____________________

Pressure = 25 Nm or Joule

____________________

Answer 2

Answer:

Weight of body=250 N

Area of contact=10m²

Pressure=Force×Area

Here, the force is equal to the weight

Pressure=250×10=2500m²

Hence,the pressure exerted by the wooden plank is 2500m².
