For the answer to the question above, we have to use this formula
Pressure = P = force / area 
Then, just substitute the values of the formula
force = mg = 2(10) = 20 N 

area = A = 1 cm² = [1 x 10 ̄ ²]² m² 


=> P = 20 N / [1 x 10 ̄ ²]² = 200 x 10³ Pa 

= 200 kPa 
I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!
