DIRECTIONS: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that/allow. Passage Pressure is defined as the force exerted over a unit of area. \[\text{Pressure}\,\text{=}\frac{\text{force}}{\text{area}}\] Place a book on a bathroom scale and, whether you place it on its back, on its side, or balanced on a corner, it still exerts the same force. The weight reading is the same. Now balance the book on the palm of your hand and you sense a difference - the pressure of the book depends on the area over which the force is distributed. Which book will exert more pressure?
