Question

A woman is walking in sharp heeled shoes.If the mass of her 50kg and the area of one heal is 1cm. Calculate the pressure exerted on the ground when she stands on just one heal. G=10m/s

Answer 1

mass of woman = 50kg
weight = 50×10 = 500N
area of heel = 1 cm^2 = 1/10000 m^2

pressure= weight/area = 500/(1/10000) = 500×10000 = 5×10^6 pascal
