We know that to find the pressure exerted by an object, we use the formula p=m/a
P=pressure, m=mass(weight), a=area
Given, m=360n and a=18sqm
Now when we substitute these values with the formula p=m/a, we get 360/18 or 360 divided 18, which is equal to 20.
Therefore the pressure exerted by the solid body on the wooden plank is 18 pascal. (Unit for pressure is pascal) :)
