Given that this stands out a mile as almost certainly a school homework question, to answer directly would be to make me complicit in cheating. So I will tell you how to calculate it, which would appear to be the point of the question: 1) The relationship between depth and pressure of water is linear. 2) If water X ft deep exerts a pressure of P lb/in2, then water of Y ft deep will obviously exert a pressure of P(Y/X) lbs/in2 Given thats information you can now solve the original question.

If it has a mass of 72 kg, then its weight on earth is 705.6 newtons (about 158.7 pounds). Its size, shape, color, fabric, contents, or the pressure it exerts on the ground don't matter. Consider this: If you set the suitcase down on its bottom, on one side, or on one end, its pressure on the ground would be different in each case, but its weight would not change.

The pressure exerted by a brick is the same regardless of whether it is on its side or end, as pressure is determined by the force applied over a given area. The weight of the brick remains constant, so the pressure it exerts also remains constant.
Liquid material exerts pressure equally in all directions, following Pascal's Principle. This means the pressure is exerted perpendicular to any surface it comes into contact with, resulting in a uniform distribution of force.
Exerting pressure is the act of applying force or weight on an object or surface. This pressure can cause a change in the state or shape of the object. Examples of exerting pressure include pushing, squeezing, or compressing an object.
A fluid will exert equal pressure in all directions when it is in a state of equilibrium, meaning there are no external forces acting on it to cause it to flow or change shape. This is described by Pascal's principle, which states that any change in pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions.
Standing on tip toe exerts greater pressure on the floor compared to standing flat footed. This is because less surface area of contact between the feet and the floor means the body's weight is concentrated on a smaller area, resulting in increased pressure.
When air exerts a force, it is called air pressure. Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a given point.

You need to know the mass of the solid.
A gas exerts pressure in all directions due to the constant motion of its particles. This pressure is the result of collisions between gas particles and the walls of their container.
The pressure that the car exerts, at every point where the tires touch the road, is(total weight of the car) divided by (total area of contact between the tires and the road).
An ordinary human standing exerts a pressure equivalent to the body weight divided by the area in contact with the ground. On average, this pressure is about 10-15 pounds per square inch (psi).
The same reason bricks exert downward pressure. Gravity.
