The total pressure exerted by a person when he stands on both the feet is 10000000 Pascals

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Weight of the person= 500 N

Area of the foot= 0.5 m ²/ 100 ×100

To find the pressure exerted we have the formula,

Pressure exerted= force/area

Pressure exerted= 500 ×100×100/0.5

Pressure exerted=10000000 Pascals

The total pressure exerted by a person when he stands on both the feet is 10000000 Pascals
