Answer

Given:
Force (Thrust) = 300 N
Area = 30 cm2 = 3010000\dfrac{\text{30}}{\text{10000}} = 0.003 m2
Pressure = ?

Pressure=ThrustArea=3000.003=1,00,000 Pa\text{Pressure}= \dfrac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Area}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{300}}{\text{0.003}} \\[1em] = 1,00,000 \text{ Pa}

So Pressure = 1,00,000 Pa or 105 Pa.
