Question

3. A woman weighs 650 N and wears high heels with a total area of 52 cm². What is the pressure on the floor?

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure = force/area

pressure = 650/52

pressure = 12.5P

Answer 2

Given :-

• Force = 650 N
• Area =
• $52 {cm}^{2}$

To Find :-

• Pressure = ?

Calculation :-

We know that,

• Pressure = Force / Area

Substiting the values,

Pressure = 650 / 52

==> Pressure = 12.5 P

Therefore, the pressure on the floor us 12.5 P.

Formula Used :-

• Pressure = Force / Area

What is Pressure ?

● Pressure is force per unit area.

● Pressure is also known as the ratio of force applied on an object and the magnitude of contact area.

● Pressure exerted by the weight of gases is called atmospheric pressure.

● Pascal is the unit of pressure.
