    option D = 204 Pa

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    Weight of book = 12 N

    Area of book = 0.21 m * 0.28 m = 0.0058 m²

    Pressure of book = ?

    Solution:

    formula

    pressure = force / area

    P = f / A

    now we will put the values in formula,

    P = 12 N / 0.0058 m²

    P = 204 Nm⁻² (Nm⁻² = Pa)

    P = 204 Pa
