Two metallic plates rest flat on a table. Plate X has an area of 0.02m2 while plate Y has an area of 0.04m2. The same vertical force of 300N is applied on each plate. Which statement correctly compares the pressure on the table under the two plates?
(a) Pressure under plate X is half that under plate Y
(b) Both plates exert the same pressure
(c) Pressure under plate X is twice that under plate Y
(d) Pressure under plate Y is twice that under plate X
