Given :  a boy standing on both feet   weight of the boy is 40kg.

area of contact of each shoe is 6 cm by 25 cm  

1kg wt =10 N

To Find : pressure exerted on the floor by   boy

Solution :

1kg wt =10 N

=>  40kg.wt =40 * 10  = 400 N

area of contact of each shoe  = 6cm x 25 cm

= (6/100)  m x (25/100)   m

= 15/1000  m²

There are two shoes so total area

= 2 *  15/1000  m²

= 30 /1000  m²

= 3/100 m²

Pressure = Force / Area

=> Pressure  = 400 / ( 3/100)

=> Pressure  = 40000 /3  N/m² or Pa

=>  Pressure  =  40/3   kN/m² or kPa

=>  Pressure  =  13.33 kN/m² or kPa

pressure exerted on the floor by boy =  13.33 kN/m² or kPa

Answer:

13.33kn/m2

Explanation:

a boy standing on both feet wright of the boy is 40kg

area of contact of each shoe is 6cm by 25cm

1kg wt=10N

to find the pressure exerted on the floor is

solution=

1kg=10N

=40kg weight=40*10=400N

area of contact of each shoe=6cm*25m

=6/100m2*25/100m2

=15/1000m2

area are toe shoes so

2*15/1000m2

=30/1000m2

=3/100m2

pressure=force/area

pressure=400/3*100

=40000/3 n/m2

pressure=40/3Nm2

pressure exerted on the floor by boy=13.33kn/m2.
