A physics teacher has a weight of 700 N. What pressure does he exert on the ground if his feet have an area of `0.025 m^2` each? (Remember, he has two feet!)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the pressure exerted by the physics teacher on the ground, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for pressure Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. The formula for pressure (P) is given by: \[ P = \frac{F}{A} \] where: - \( P \) is the pressure, - \( F \) is the force (weight in this case), ...
