Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) P = 60(9.8)/0.00008 = 7,350,000 N/m² = 7.4 MPa

If she stands with all her weight on only one heel. Rather hard to do on a surface of a trampoline, and well above the strength limit for this one.

2) P = 4000(9.8)/0.1 = 392,000 N/m² = 390 KPa

Can an elephant stand on only one foot? If the elephant keeps at least two feet on the surface at all times, the pressure would be half of that and would be within the strength limits of the trampoline.
