If women weighs 50 kg and the tips of the heel is 10mm2.What is the pressure exerted on the floor by her heel? |
|
Answer» Explanation: Mass of the girl, m=50kg Diameter of the heel, d=1cm=0.01m Radius of the heel, R= 2 d
=0.005m Area of the heel =πr 2
=π×(0.005) 2
=7.85×10 −5 m 2
FORCE EXERTED by the heel on the FLOOR: F=mg =50×9.8 =490N Pressure exerted by the heel on the floor: P= Area Force
=490/(7.85×10 −5 )=6.24×10 6 N/m 2
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the heel on the HORIZONTAL floor is 6.24×10 6 N/m 2 . |
