A boy weighing 60kg force is wearing shoes with heel area of cross - section 20cm^2 while a girl weighing 45kg force is wearing shoes with heel of area of cross- section 1.5cm^2. compare to the pressures exerted on the ground by their heels when they stand on the heels of one foot .

Answer:
Explanation:
Pressure = Force / Area
Now Force = mgh where m is mass h is height and g is gravity. Since both girl and boy have same height 1 foot and g is constant.
=> Force is directly proportional to mass
And P = F / A
=> P for Boy equivalent to = 60 kg / 20 cm^2 = 30
=> Equivalent P for girl = 45 kg / 1.5 cm^2 = 30
=> Pressure applied by girl on ground is higher than boy.
Note: Pressure calculations are not exact because we didn't put value of gravity constant also height and area is to be use in SI unit.
Thank you!
