As a stands, her entire weight is momentarily placed on the heels of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the heels if the heels are circular with a radius of 0.578 cm, and the woman’s mass is 65.0 kg. Express the pressure in Pa.

Answer:

Pressure will be [tex]6072449.952Pa[/tex]

Explanation:

We have given mass of the women m = 65 kg

Radius of the heels r = 0.578 cm = 0.00578 m

We have to find the pressure

We know that pressure is given by

[tex]P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{mg}{A}[/tex]

So force F = mg = 65×9.8 = 637 N

Area [tex]A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00578^2=1.049\times 10^{-4}m^2[/tex]

So pressure [tex]p=\frac{637}{1.049\times 10^{-4}}=6072449.952Pa[/tex]
