Answer:

Pressure, P = 15.4 lb/in²

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied, F = 26.4 lb

Area of cross section, A = 1.71 in²

To find,

Pressure.

Solution,

Pressure is equal to force per unit area of cross section.

P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{26.4\ lb}{1.71\ in^2}\\\\P=15.43\ lb/in^2\\\\P=15.43\ Pa

Hence, the correct option is (a) "15.4 lb/in²".
