A rectangular iron block is kept over a table with different faces touching the table. In different cases, the block exerts ___________.

Which among the following is the correct option?

• The force applied on a surface in a direction perpendicular or normal to the surface is called thrust. It will remain the same for all the positions of the block.
• Pressure is defined as thrust exerted per unit area.
• Pressure = $\frac{\mathrm{Thrust}}{\mathrm{Area}}$
• We are aware that the same force applied to a smaller area would result in more pressure, and vice versa for a bigger area. 
• As a result, when an iron block is placed along its length, less pressure is applied, and when it is placed along its breadth, more pressure is applied. 

Hence,  when a rectangular iron block is kept over a table with different faces touching the table, the block applies the same thrust and different pressures in various circumstances.
