Question

calculate the pressure exerted by a girl weighing 500N standing on one stiletto hell of area 10^-4 m^2

Answer 1

We have been given the force exerted by the girl on the heel as 500N, so we just need to divide the area of the stiletto from the force exerted by the girl on it.

P = F/A
P = 500/10^-4
P = 500*10000
P = 5 * 10^6 N/m^2

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

Answer 2

P=F/A
=500/10^-4
=5×10^6
