Ritu wears peneil heel shoes. Each heel has an area of contact as 0.001 m². If Ritu's weight is 350 N, what is the total amount of pressure when she stands on the floor ? [7 x 105 Pa |

Answer» Explanation: Solution 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 . |
