AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the pressure exerted by the man on the ground using the formula for pressure: \[ \text{Pressure} (P) = \frac{\text{Force} (F)}{\text{Area} (A)} \] ### Step 1: Calculate the weight of the man in Newtons The weight of the man is given as 80 kgf (kilogram-force). We need to convert this to Newtons. The weight in Newtons can be calculated using the formula: ...
