Question

Calculate the pressure on the ground if a prson of weight 450N was to

themselves on one heel of a stilleto shoe. one stilletto heel has an area of 1 square
centimetre.
Pls

Answer 1

we will calculate the pressure in pascals:

The units of pascal are Newtons / m²

Since we are given the force in newtons but we are given the area in cm² , we will convert 1 cm² to 1 m²

we know that 1 cm² = (1 / 10000) m²

Now, plugging these values in the equation for pressure:

Pressure = Force (N) / Area (m²)

Pressure = 450 / (1 / 10000)

Pressure = 450 * 10,000

Pressure = 4,500,000 pa

Therefore, the stilleto shoe is applying a pressure of 4.5 million pascals on the floor

We can convert it to some other units from this information

This much Pressure will be equal to:

4,500 kPa (Kilo pascals)

4.5 MPa (mega pascals)
