A student has a glass coffee table in their dorm room that they want to stack some of their books on. However they are a little worried about how much pressure the table can withstand at any one point.
The books have a total mass of 12.50kg, the height of the stack is 25.45cm, and the bottom book has dimensions 33.02cm, x 33.02cm. How much pressure (N/m2) must the table be able to withstand at any place
where the books are placed ?

NOTE: A Newton (N) is a measure of force. It has units of mass (kilograms) times the acceleration due to the force of gravity: mass x 9.80 m/s2.
