A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/11/M/J/18

Explanation
Pressure depends on weight divided by base area Steps:
- Pressure P = weight W / base area A; same P if W/A is equal.
- Assume all blocks have identical weight (standard setup unless specified).
- Compare base areas: Q and R differ (e.g., Q larger), so different P.
- S and T share identical base area, yielding same P.
Why D is correct:
- S and T have equal base areas and weights, so P = W/A is identical per the pressure formula.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: P and T have different base areas, so unequal pressures.
- B: Q and R have mismatched areas, leading to different pressures.
- C: Q and S differ in area, resulting in unequal pressures.
Final answer: D
