• The pressure on the floor = ?

$\bf{\underline{\underline \blue{Explanation:-}}}$

$\sf\underline{\red{\:\:\: Formula\:Used\: Here:-\:\:\:}}$

$\bigstar \: \boxed{ \sf \: Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area } }$

$\sf\underline{\green{\:\:\: Now,Putting\:the\: values:-\:\:\:}}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf {Pressure \:on\:the\:floor = \dfrac{\cancel{650}}{\cancel{52}}\:}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf { Pressure \:on\: the\:floor = 12.5 P}$

Answer 2

Given :

Woman weighs(Force) = 650N

Area of high heels = 52cm²

To Find :

Pressure on the floor

Solution :

As we know

Pressure = Force / Area

Putting values :

Pressure = 650N / 52cm²

Pressure = 12.5 N/cm² or pascal

Hence, pressure on the floor us 12.5 Pascals.

More details :

• Pressure is defined as normal force acting per unit surface area.

• It's SI unit is pascal (Pa).

• For example, if you are pushing on the surface of a table with a sharpened pencil, the applied pressure will be equal to the ratio of force applied and the area of contact between the table and your hand.
