Answer:

P = 3000 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of Dorji, W = F = mg = 1500 N

The total surface area of soles of his feet is 0.5 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by his body on the ground​. The pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,


P=(1500\ N)/(0.5\ m^2)\\\\=3000\ Pa

So, the pressure exerted by his body on the ground​ is 3000 Pa.
