Question

How much pressure is applied to the groundby a 112 kg man who is standing on squarestilts that measure 0.06 m on each edge?Answer in units of Pa.

Answer 1

We can find the pressure using the following formula:

`P=(F)/(A)`

Where:

P = Pressure

F = Force

A = Area

We can find the area as follows:

`\begin{gathered} A=(0.06)^2 \\ A=0.0036m^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the pressure is:

`\begin{gathered} P=(112)/(0.0036) \\ P=31111.11Ps \end{gathered}`
