A 50 kg girl wearing high heel shoes balances on a single heel . The heel is circular with a diameter 1.0 cm . What is the pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`P=(F)/(A)=(mg)/(pir^(2))`
`=(50xx9.8)/(3.142xx(5xx10^(-3))^(2))`
`=6.24xx10^(6)Nm^(-2)`
