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=

d

=0.005m

Area of the heel =πr

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
