Lydia Ferguson · Answer 1

The following formula relates applied force to pressure:

P = F/A

P is the pressure, F is the applied force, and A is the area over which the force is applied.

Unfortunately we cannot calculate the pressure if we don't know the area of contact between the ball and the tube.
