Answer:

P max = 1000 pa

P min = 200 pa

Explanation:

P = F/A

pressure will be maximum when surface gets minimum. so to find the maximum amount of pressure we need to calculate the minimum surface. it is 2cm×5cm = 10cm² = 0.001m² . then we have:

P = 1 / 0.001 = 1000 pa

to find minimum pressure the surface that must be chosen is 10cm×5cm = 50cm² = 0.005m² .

P = 1 / 0.005 = 200 pa
