Pressure is defined as the force per unit area. This measurement is more convenient to use for describing a force exerted. The standard unit for pressure is Pascal. For this problem, force is the gravitational pull from the block. Calculations are as follows:
P = F/A where F = mg
F = 7.5 ( 9.81) = 73.6 N
P = 73.6 N / 0.6 m^2 = 122.5 Pa
Thus, the answer is D.
