Question

A woman wearing shoes with stiletto heels wieghs 550 N the are of each stiletto heel is 1cm^2 calculate the pressure of each heel on the floor​

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure of each heel

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the woman (W) = 550N

Area of each heel (A) = 1cm²= 10⁻⁴m²

Pressure (P) = unknown

Using the relation:

Pressure = Force/ Area  = Weight/Area

P = 550/10⁻⁴ (bring to the top to change to positive)

P = 550 × 10⁴

P = 5.5 × 10⁶  pascal

Hence, the applied pressure by each heel on the floor is 5.5×10^6 Pascal.
