P=F/A Here the force is weight of the marble cylinder=mg To find the mass=VxD, V is volume and D is density volume of the cylinder=pi r^2h=pi (.21)^2x1.25=.173m^3 I am taking the density of marble as 2760kg/m^3 So the mas=2760x.173=478kg  The area of the base=pi r^2=0.14m^2   P=(478x9.80)/.14=33460pascals
