You are handed an apple that has a mass of 102 g. To get a better of idea of what different pressures feel like, you rig up several systems where the force of the apple is distributed over objects of different size.
(a)What is the weight of this apple (in units of N and lbf)?
(b)You stick a square-ended toothpick into the apple and balance it on your finger. What is the pressure of the apple (in units of Pa, psi, and atm) that you feel on your finger?
(c)You cut the apple up into slices and place them on your hand. What is the pressure of the apple on your hand (in units of Pa, psi, and atm)?(d)You smash the apple into applesauce and spread it over a table. What is the pressure of the applesauce on the table (in units of Pa, psi, and atm)?
