Question

e)
The surface area of foot of Bimaba is 150cm? If she weighs 50kg,
how much pressure does she exert on the ground, as she stands on
her one foot? (32666.67 pa)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure, P = 32666.66 Pa

Explanation:

It is given that,

Surface area of foot of Bimaba is 150 cm² or 0.015 m².

Her weight is 50 kg

We need to find the pressure does she exert on the ground, as she stands on  her one foot. The force acting per unit area is called pressure. It can be given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{50\times 9.8}{0.015}\\\\P=32666.66\ Pa$

So, the pressure is 32666.66 Pa.
