Force = pressure times area. What is the area of the bill? Length times width.

The area of the bill is 6.1 x 2.6 = 15.86 in^2 I believe that the pressure of the press was mistyped and should be 9.3 x 10^4 psi. The magnitude of the total force would be 15.86 x 9.6 x10^4 or 1.52 million pounds

Use this equation...

Total Force = Pressure * Area
