Objects with different weights are placed on a rigid, horizontal surface. Which row shows the correct pressure acting on the surface?

Aweight/N: 10, area in contact/m²: 0.1, pressure N/m²: 1
Bweight/N: 20, area in contact/m²: 0.2, pressure N/m²: 0.01
Cweight/N: 30, area in contact/m²: 0.1, pressure N/m²: 300
Dweight/N: 40, area in contact/m²: 0.2, pressure N/m²: 8

✓ Correct answer

C: weight/N: 30, area in contact/m²: 0.1, pressure N/m²: 300
