A fidget spinner is shown. It is a toy that contains a ball bearing in its centre and is designed to spin on its axis with little effort.
The central components of a fidget spinner are press fitted together using a press punch.
The press punch diameter is 21 mm. The force applied by the press punch to the bearing is 17.3 N.
Calculate the compressive stress in the press punch. (2 marks)
