Answer:

Weight, W = 125 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure, P = 5 Pa

Area, A = 25 m²

We need to find how much must a man weigh (force) if the pressure he exerts while standing on one foot which has an area of 25 m² exerts a pressure of 5 Pa. So,

Pressure = force/area

So,


F=P* A\\\\F=5* 25\\F=125\ N

So, the weight of the man is 125 N.
