A football player who weighs 550 N stands indoors wearing her football boots. The boot’s ‘blades’ (long studs) have a total area of 30 cm 2 . Only her blades are in contact with the floor.

Calculate the player’s pressure on the floor. Give the units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Pressure = Force / Area,

We have 550N / (0.003m²) = 180k Pa. (2s.f.)
