Question

A girl weighing 500N stand on one stiletto heel of dimensions 1cm x 1cm. What is the pressure exerted by the girl?

Answer 1

Answer:

So the pressure exerted by the girl on the stiletto is 5*10^6 N/m^2 or Pascal.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

You must know that Pressure= Force/ Area

Force= 500N

Area=1 Square cm = 10^-4 Square meter.

Various units are used to express pressure. Some of these derive from a unit of force divided by a unit of area; the SI unit of pressure, the pascal (Pa), for example, is one newton per Square meter; similarly, the pound-force per square inch (psi) is the traditional unit of pressure .
