A woman of mass 90 kg stands upright on a tile floor. If the area of contact of her shoes and floor is 300 cm^2, determine the average pressure she exerts on the floor. (Take g=10 N kg^-1)

Answers


joseph
Nb. Pressure = force/area
Force = pressure x area
=90 x 10
=900N
Area = 300 cm^2
=300/10000 m^2
=0.03m^2
Thus pressure = 900/0.03 Nm^-2
=30000Nm^-2
