Question

HELPPPPPP!!!! SHOW WORK

Calculate the pressure exerted by heels of a 100 lb woman in high heels, if the area beneath the heel of each shoe is 0.25 square inch

Answer 1

P = 400 Lb/in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Weight of woman; W = 100 lb

Area beneath heel of shoe; 0.25 in²

Now, we want to find pressure.

Formula is;

P = F/A

Where;

F is force exerted by the object which is equal to weight of the object

A is area covered by object

Thus;

P = 100/0.25

P = 400 Lb/in²
