Nail tips exert tremendous pressures when they are hit by hammers because they exert a large force

Question:

Nail tips exert tremendous pressures when they are hit by hammers because they exert a large force over a small area. What force must be exerted on a nail with a circular tip of 1.00 mm diameter to create a pressure of 3.00 x 109 N/m2? (This high pressure is possible because the hammer striking the nail is brought to rest in such a short distance.)
