Answer:
6.23x10^6Pa
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
F (force) = 490N
r (radius) = 0.005m
A (area of the circlular heel) =?
P (pressure) =.?
First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:
Area of circle = πr^2
Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2
Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2
Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as
Pressure = Force /Area
Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5
Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2
Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa
Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa
Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor
