SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating exerted pressure using the formula derived from Newton's second law and the definition of pressure. The user calculated the force exerted by a mass of 0.908 kg under gravity as 8.8984 N. Subsequently, the pressure was computed as 16789.43396 N/m² using an area of 5.3 x 10^-4 m². The user seeks clarification on converting this pressure value from Pascals (Pa) to kilopascals (kPa), where 1 kPa equals 1000 Pa.
