1. Yves is trying to measure the pressure acting on a square platform. He has placed a mass of 30 kg on the disk and he measures the length of one side of the square as 20 cm. What is the pressure Yves should measure? (Hint: To calculate the area of the square platform, first convert the side () to meters and then use the following equation A = 12)
