Question

A women wearing shoes with stiletto heels weighs 550N the area of each stiletto heel is 1cm² calculate the pressure of each heel on the floor​

Answer 1

Answer:

Part # 1 Formula of Pressure= Pressure force÷Area. weight of women shoes =550N. area of shoes= 1m² pressure=? Pressure=550÷1m²=550 Pa.

Part # 2 Pressure=? Pressure=force÷Area. Pressure= 550N÷1cm²=55 pa.

Answer 2

Weight of the woman (W) = 550N

Area of each heel (A) = 1cm^2 = 10^-4 m^2

Pressure (P) = unknown

Using the relation:

P = F/A

= W/A

= 550/10^-4

= 550 × 10^4

P = 5.5 × 10^6 Pascal

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