Pressure=[ force or weight] /area

Pressure=1025 /[1.5*2.5]

Pressure=273.33 pascal

tension = tension / section The tension is the burden of the object, it truly is 1025 N. And the section = width * top = a million.5 * 2.5 = 3.seventy 5 m^2. So 1025 / 3.seventy 5 = 273.33 Pa (Pascals)

1.5 x 2.5 x 1025

---edit--

Sorry, it is (1025)/(1.5 *2.5)
