Answer

$F= 1.2688\times10^{6}lb$

Work Step by Step

Pressure generated by the printing press $P=8.0\times10^{4}lb/in^2$ size of 20 dollar bill is given as length $l=6.1in$ and width $W=2.6in$ area of the bill $A=lW$ $A=6.1in\times2.6in$ $A=15.86in^2$ since $P=\frac{F}{A}$ so $F=PA$ so force generated by intaglio presses $F= 8.0\times10^{4}lb/in^2\times15.86in^2$ $F= 126.88\times10^{4}lb$ $F= 1.2688\times10^{6}lb$
