Answer:

The pressure exerted by the girl is 245,000 N/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mass of the girl, m = 50 kg

area of the girl's shoe, A = 0.002 m²

The pressure exerted by the girl is calculated as follows;


P = (F)/(A) \\\\Where;\\F \ is \ the \ force \ exerted \ by \ girl's \ weight\\\\P = (F)/(A) = (mg)/(A) = (50 * 9.8)/(0.002) = 245,000 \ N/m^2

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the girl is 245,000 N/m²
