    Given that,

    Mass support is

    M = 0.95g = 0.95/1000 = 0.00095kg

    Radius of circle R = 0.205mm

    r = 0.205/1000 = 0.000205m

    Then, area of the circle can be determined using

    A = πr²

    A = π * 0.000205²

    A = 1.32 * 10^-7 m²

    From pressure definitions

    Pressure = Force / Area

    The force is perpendicular to the area

    Force = weight = mg

    F = mg = 0.00095 * 9.8

    F = 9.31 * 10^-3 N

    Then,

    Pressure = Force / Area

    P = F/A

    P = 9.31 * 10^-3 / 1.32 * 10^-7

    P = 70,530.30 N/m²

    Since 1 pascal = 1 N/m²

    Then,

    P = 70,530.30 Pascals
