A 50 kg. girl wearing high heel shoes balance on a single heel. The heel is circular with a diameter 1 cm. what is the pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor? |
|
Answer» Mass of girl `m=50kg` `therefore` force on the heel, `F=mg=50xx9.8=490N` Diameter, `D=1.0cm=1xx10^(-2)m` `therefore` Area, `A=(piD^(2))/(4)=(3.14xx(1xx10^(-2))^(2))/(4)=7.85xx10^(-5)m^(2)` `therefore` Pressure, `P=(F)/(A)=(490)/(7.85xx10^(-5))=6.24xx10^6Pa`. |
